In this Feb. 8, 2018, photo, Blayne Wittig, executive director of Options for Women of California, left, a center in Concord, Calif., Debbie Whittaker, nurse manager, center, and Christine Vatuone, president and CEO of Informed Choices, talk at Informed Choices, a crisis pregnancy center in Grilroy, Calif. A California law regulating anti-abortion pregnancy centers has led to a Supreme Court clash at the intersection of abortion and free speech. The centers say a law requiring them to tell pregnant clients the state has family planning and abortion care available at little or no cost violates the centersâ free speech rights. Informed Choices is what Vatuone describes as a âlife-affirmingâ pregnancy center. Even as it advertises âfree pregnancy servicesâ and promises in signs on its door and inside to discuss all options with pregnant women, Informed Choices exists to steer women away from abortion.
