(Washington, DC) – Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale), Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (R-MD), and Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) issued the following statement after filing an Amicus Curiae brief on behalf of 128 members of the House of Representatives and 16 Senators in support of free speech for pro-life pregnancy centers in the Supreme Court case National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra. The case challenges a California state law, the Reproductive FACT Act (AB 775), which requires licensed medical centers that offer free, pro-life help to pregnant women to post written advertisements promoting the availability of free or low cost abortions subsidized by the state. It also requires non-medically licensed centers to note, in multiple languages, that they do not have a medical provider on staff. The Court will consider whether the disclosures required by the FACT Act violate the free speech clause of the First Amendment.
