Noem Applauds SCOTUS Decision Protecting Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers’ First Amendment Rights

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today applauded a U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the First Amendment rights of pro-life pregnancy centers. The case, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra, came after California attempted to force pro-life pregnancy centers to post a notice that the state provides free or low-cost abortions as well as a phone number to access those abortions. Earlier this year, Noem formally petitioned the Court on behalf of the pro-life pregnancy centers through an amicus brief.

“No law should force a person or organization to deny their deeply held religious convictions,” said Noem. “The Supreme Court’s conclusion reinforces the First Amendment rights to which every American is entitled, and in doing so, better enables pro-life pregnancy centers to provide straightforward, life-affirming care to women.”

  1. So it is not okay for the California legislature to give directives to abortion centers but it is okay for the South Dakota legislature to giver directives to abortion centers.

    1. Abortion is a medical procedure involving informed consent. Informed consent, to be valid, must include alternatives and possible outcomes. This applies to every medical procedure, doesn’t matter what it is, before you consent you are informed, usually in writing, of alternative treatments and all possible outcomes. This results in the unnerving information that having your wisdom teeth removed might kill you, Or you are seriously asked if you understand that after that big tumor is removed, you might have a little scar, and are you sure you want to risk it?

      No procedure is involved in crisis pregnancy counseling. Telling the client she might die is the obstetrician’s job.

  2. Religious liberty was the issue. By forcing the folks in California to provide information on how to abort a child they were going against their religious beliefs. I know the left puts religious liberty behind every other liberty but that doesn’t mean they are right. Keep putting out good decisions SCOTUS!
