Today, New Jersey AG Matthew Platkin takes his years-long campaign against pregnancy centers into court. Make no mistake: this case isn’t happening in a vacuum. Democrats across the country have spent years demonizing the very places that serve women with real help, real resources, and real compassion.

Here’s what they say in their own words:

1. Sen. Patty Murray:

“So-called ‘crisis pregnancy centers,’ propped up by anti-choice extremists, are notorious for misleading women about the services they provide and lying to them about their options for evidence-based reproductive health care.”

2. Rep. Josh Gottheimer:

“Women go to these healthcare hoax clinics thinking they will get real medical help, but instead, they are greeted by people with no medical background whose goal is to brainwash women with their own ideological agenda.”

3. Rep. Katherine Clark:

“These extremists are opening fake clinics, to lure in women at their most vulnerable, obstruct their right to choose the treatment that they want, and withhold healthcare that any real doctor would provide immediately. These are con artists posing as healthcare professionals.”

4. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto:

“Anti-abortion crisis care centers routinely mislead vulnerable women about the services they provide, delaying care and jeopardizing women’s health, As women continue to seek abortion services in Nevada, it’s crucial that these fake clinics are held accountable.”

5. Sen. Elizabeth Warren:

“CPCs lure women…Many of these CPCs are not health care providers, and they often operate specifically to deceive pregnant women with the goal of preventing them from having abortions.”

6. New York AG Letitia James

“Crisis pregnancy center defendants are spreading dangerous misinformation by advertising ‘abortion reversals’ without any medical and scientific proof. Amid the increase in attacks on reproductive health care nationwide, we must protect pregnant people’s right to make safe, well-informed decisions about their health.”

7. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici:

“Crisis pregnancy centers often engage in deceptive advertising to get people in, then mislead them about the services they provide.”

8. Sen. Bob Menendez:

“By promoting deceptive or misleading advertisements about abortion services, crisis pregnancy centers jeopardize women’s health and well-being, all while elevating unproven theories about birth control and contraceptive care.”

9. Rep. Carolyn Maloney:

“It is truly disgusting that reproductive rights are being threatened and attacked by crisis pregnancy centers whose guiding principle is to mislead, misinform, and outright lie to pregnant people in order to dissuade them from having an abortion. It is long past time that we prohibit these predatory tactics to undermine reproductive rights.”

10. Sen. Richard Blumenthal:

“Crisis pregnancy centers rely on predatory practices to spread deceptive, misleading information and dissuade patients from receiving necessary health care. Patients deserve objective medical guidance from professionals – not inaccurate, stigmatizing, and even life-threatening information.”

11. Sen. Cory Booker:

“It is critical that patients seeking reproductive care are given accurate medical advice from a trusted doctor, and not preyed on with misinformation from anti-abortion organizations posing as ‘crisis pregnancy centers.”

12. Sen. Dick Durbin:

“Efforts by crisis pregnancy centers, many of which use half-truths and false advertising to mislead women about their options, undermine the reproductive rights of women.”

13. Sen. Ed Markey:

“The Stop Anti-Abortion Disinformation Act is crucial for stopping peddlers of mis-and-disinformation in their tracks, so they do not continue to mislead, lie, and scare people from getting the care they need. Abortion care is health care, and every American should be able to access this care safely.”

14. Sen. Jeff Merkley:

“MAGA Republicans are on a crusade to destroy reproductive rights nationwide by spewing misinformation and pushing deceptive practices that undermine access to vital reproductive services… Our bill ensures that crisis pregnancy centers across the country will not be able to mislead or lie to Americans seeking reproductive health care, including abortion care.”

15. Sen. Peter Welch:

“With reproductive rights constantly under threat, it’s vital that people can access reliable and trustworthy abortion care. These people are preying on pregnant women with misinformation and blatant lies about abortion. It’s wrong, and it’s why Vermont passed legislation to hold them accountable for their lies.”

16. Sen. Ron Wyden:

“Deceptive ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ target vulnerable patients who are looking for medical providers they can trust with their health, safety, and wellbeing and, instead, intercept them with false, harmful misinformation. ‘Crisis pregnancy centers’ must be stopped.”

17. State Sen. Becca Rausch (D-MA):

“In order to get at anti-abortion centers, at this very real problem and threat to the health and safety of a lot of people, we have to do it in a way that does not run afoul of the First Amendment. That’s hard to do.”

Conclusion:

This is the climate AG Matthew Platkin is operating in. This is the echo chamber fueling today’s case. A coordinated, unmistakable message from Democrats nationwide: Pregnancy centers must be silenced. Shut down. Erased.

But here’s what they refuse to acknowledge: Pregnancy resource centers are trusted, local, community-rooted, and lifesaving. They provide diapers, housing support, counseling, ultrasounds, formula, and long-term care – for FREE. They meet women where they are, without judgment.

That’s what this case threatens. Not “fake clinics.” Not “misinformation.” But the right of women to choose free, life-affirming support instead of being funneled only toward abortion.

We stand with First Choice and every pregnancy center serving women with compassion, dignity, and truth. Today’s arguments will show whether the First Amendment still protects them from government abuse.
