California protects everything except free speech

Published



It seems like California protects everything but free speech. Next month, the Supreme Court is set to hear NIFLA v. Becerra, a case which will determine whether parts of the California Reproductive FACT Act — which requires pregnancy centers mention abortion — violates said pregnancy centers’ right to free speech.

Now Becket, a nonprofit organization that protects religious liberties, filed a petition to the Supreme Court on behalf of Support Circle, a pregnancy center in San Francisco. Support Circle is a nonprofit clinic and counseling center dedicated to providing support for women facing unplanned pregnancies at no cost to them. For decades, Support Circle has provided pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, medical care, emotional support, and a network of community services such as housing, job training, and financial counseling to women in the San Francisco Bay Area. Support Circle neither offers abortions nor refers women to abortion clinics.
