First Choice Women’s Resource Centers filed a lawsuit against Democrat Attorney General Matthew Platkin over an ‘unfounded' subpoena they say violates their constitutional rights.
'No government official has the right to force a Catholic institution like Sacred Heart to affirm positions contrary to the Church’s teachings on marriage and sexuality,' said ADF attorney Kate Anderson.
'Hospitals — especially emergency rooms — are centers for preserving life. The government has no business transforming them into abortion clinics,' the senior counsel for a conservative legal group representing the state said in a statement.
'This baseless challenge to the state’s pro-life laws never should have been brought in the first place,' Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel and director of the ADF Center for Life Denise Harle said.
'Medical professionals should never be forced to engage in or promote activities that violate their beliefs or convictions,' said ADF Legal Counsel Elissa Graves.
