**Unlawful Overreach: New Jersey Targets Pro-Life Center with Burdensome Subpoena**

In a troubling move that raises serious questions about governmental overreach, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin is aggressively pursuing a Christian, pro-life organization, First Choice Women’s Resource Centers.

The state has directed the center to respond to an extensive subpoena demanding internal documents and donor information, spanning nearly a decade.

This attack on First Choice represents a direct assault on the organization's mission, which provides essential services such as free ultrasounds, STD testing, and baby clothes to women in need.


Attorneys from the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) are fighting back, asking the court to halt further compliance with the subpoena while challenges to its constitutionality are examined in federal court.

Critics argue that Platkin's move is an attempt to intimidate and undermine a pro-life ministry that dares to uphold values contrary to the state’s extreme abortion agenda.

"What the attorney general is doing is making a political example of First Choice simply because they provide alternatives to his aggressive pro-abortion stance," stated ADF Senior Counsel Lincoln Wilson, emphasizing that there’s no evidence of wrongdoing to warrant such invasive demands.

The subpoena's harsh terms would force First Choice to expend precious resources on legal compliance instead of focusing on the vulnerable women it serves.

Moreover, the involvement of Planned Parenthood in the crafting of consumer alerts about First Choice is worrying, suggesting a strategic partnership aimed at crippling pro-life organizations.

Consequently, many view this case as emblematic of a broader trend where government entities wield their power to silence opposing viewpoints and infringe upon First Amendment rights.

First Choice’s case highlights not only the challenges faced by pro-life advocates but also the urgent need for a political climate that respects the rights of all Americans, irrespective of their beliefs.
