PDP Holds Emergency Meeting in Abuja as BoT Takes over Party
A five-member panel upheld lower-court rulings and said the convention was held in disobedience to court orders.
- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of faith-based ministries in First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Davenport, allowing these organizations to challenge state government overreach in federal court.
- New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport previously attempted to force First Choice, a pro-life Christian ministry, to disclose internal religious practices and donor information without citing specific complaints or evidence of wrongdoing.
- Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that "associational rights carry special significance for political, social, religious, and other minorities." The Court affirmed First Amendment freedoms are "necessarily" associative, enabling religious groups to protect governance from intrusive state bureaucrats.
- Becket senior counsel William Haun celebrated the ruling as a "triumph for every faith-based ministry in America." Rep. Mary Miller also praised the decision, affirming support from religious liberty advocates.
- This unanimous decision ensures faith-based pregnancy centers cannot be targeted by government officials simply for providing services to women, establishing a clear legal precedent safeguarding these organizations from state-led investigations.
