The Supreme Court heard oral argument in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra, a case concerning California’s abortion disclosure law and free speech. Under the Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency Act, “pro-life” clinics known as “crisis pregnancy centers” must tell patients about all the medical services available to them, including state programs that provide free or low-cost access to family planning services, contraception, and abortion. Centers that are not licensed must disclose that information to patients as well. These centers and the National Institute of Family and Life argue that the law violates their freedom of speech because they must tell women about abortion services, and in doing so go against their beliefs and mission.

On June 26, 2018, the Court in a 5-4 vote struck down California’s Reproductive FACT Act. close
