'Major Victory for the Pro-life World:' Court Upholds Pregnancy Center's First Amendment Rights

Patrick Delaney : Mar 1, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

"Evergreen's constitutional right to expressive association allows it to determine that its pro-life views can be conveyed only by those who completely support and affirm the organization's mission, in both word and deed." -Thomas More Society special counsel Timothy Belz

(New York) — [LifeSiteNews.com] An attempt by radically pro-abortion lawmakers in the state of New York to force pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to hire and retain pro-abortion employees appears to have come to an end with a Tuesday decision from a federal court.
