[IJR] Cali Requires Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers Advertise for Abortion — But SCOTUS Could Change That

“[The law] was a brilliant political move on [the state’s] part,” said Thomas Glessner, founder, and president of National Institute of Family & Life Advocates-NIFLA. “It mandates under law that the pro-life centers are advertising for abortion.”He went on to say it’s “scandalous that the law allows a multimillion-dollar abortion industry to bully small nonprofits.” Though the case is related to abortion, Glessner said the root problem is compelled speech.

“Can the government impose and compel a faith-based ministry to proclaim a message that they are fundamentally opposed to with the risk of being fined or shut down?” Glessner asked.
