Supreme Court unanimously slaps down blue state targeting pro-life group

The Supreme Court unanimously sided with a group of faith-based pregnancy centers on Wednesday that challenged the New Jersey attorney general’s investigation into whether the centers misled donors and the public about steering women away from having abortions.

The case was brought by First Choice Women's Resource Centers, a group of five Christian-based facilities in New Jersey that provide various pre-natal services to women facing unplanned pregnancies. The Supreme Court found the centers' First Amendment rights were violated, handing a victory to the pro-life movement, which had argued the state investigation rattled the centers' donors.

The opinion was narrow, finding that First Choice is now able to fight the state investigation in federal court, rather than state court. First Choice argued that then-Attorney General Matt Platkin, an elected Democrat, had issued baseless subpoenas to the pregnancy centers for donor information and that the centers should be allowed to fight them in federal court.

Justice Neil Gorsuch, who authored the opinion, agreed with First Choice, saying the state-issued subpoenas breached the First Amendment.

PRO-LIFE CENTER FIGHTS NEW JERSEY ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ‘FISHING EXPEDITION’ IN SUPREME COURT BATTLE

"An official demand for private donor information is enough to discourage reasonable individuals from associating with a group. It is enough to discourage groups from expressing dissident views," Gorsuch wrote.

The high court's majority rebuked Platkin, saying his probe did not align with longstanding court precedent.

"Over and again, we have held those demands burden the exercise of First Amendment rights," Gorsuch wrote. "Disputing none of these precedents but seeking ways around them, the Attorney General has offered a variety of arguments.  Some are old, some are new, but none succeeds."

Fox News Digital reached out to the New Jersey attorney general's office for comment.

The DOJ's filing on Wednesday includes a new photo showing Allen armed and inside a hotel room before the shooting unfolded.

"The United States of America, by and through its attorney, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, respectfully submits this memorandum in support of its oral motion to detain defendant Cole Tomas Allen pending trial," a filing notes.

"At approximately 8:03 p.m., while back inside his hotel room, the defendant used his cellphone to take a photograph of himself in the mirror," the filing states, noting that Allen "appeared to be wearing a small leather bag consistent in appearance with the ammunition-filled bag later recovered from his person (item 1), a shoulder holster (item 2), a sheathed knife consistent in appearance with one of the knives later recovered from his person (item 3), and pliers and wire cutters consistent in appearance with those later recovered from his person (item 4)."
