(Worthy News) – Pro-life clinics offering pregnant women alternatives to abortion won a major free speech victory today.
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to block a California law requiring pregnancy centers post referrals to state-funded abortion providers and birth control resources, forcing them to promote services that violate their beliefs.
In National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v.
