We have news from the front lines of defending the fundamental freedoms of faith-based pregnancy help ministries across America.
The New Jersey Attorney General is on a fishing expedition against First Choice Women’s Resource Centers and the nationwide network it’s a part of—demanding private emails, internal records, and confidential donor lists.
Here’s the thing: Attorney General Platkin’s sweeping subpoena does not simply affect a single center in a single state.
Because First Choice is affiliated with national pregnancy center networks Heartbeat International and Care Net—organizations supporting over 4,800 affiliates nationwide—the tentacles of AG Platkin’s subpoena go much further.

These politically motivated investigations are designed to intimidate, exhaust, and ultimately silence our movement’s heroic pro-life ministries. By demanding private donor lists, internal strategies, and confidential communications, government officials are sending a chilling message: stand up for life, and your privacy is at risk.
Heartbeat International has increasingly been on the receiving side of this pattern of lawfare, in New Jersey and elsewhere.
Thankfully, this case will soon be heard before the United States Supreme Court…
That’s why our legal team, working on behalf of Heartbeat International and Care Net, just filed a critical friend-of-the-court brief urging the Supreme Court to step in and protect their privacy from governmental snooping.
Our brief calls on the Supreme Court to halt these overreaching tactics and defend not only First Choice but the privacy and freedom of Heartbeat International, Care Net, and charitable ministries everywhere.

This is the same kind of relentless defense we’ve provided against similar attacks in California, New York, and Illinois, where we’ve safeguarded pro-life centers’ right to serve and speak without fear.
Every prayer, every gift, and every voice helps us defend not just Heartbeat International but the ability of thousands of pro-life ministries nationwide to offer compassion and care—confident their privacy and rights will be protected.
Thank you for standing with us in this battle.
