Lawsuit pending over Montgomery County's restrictions on pregnancy centers

Lawsuit pending over Montgomery County's restrictions on pregnancy centers: A law requiring Montgomery County pregnancy centers to post information about the care they provide is constitutional, the county's top attorney says, despite a judge's recent decision to overturn a similar regulation in Baltimore city.

However, an attorney representing Centro Tepeyac Women's Center in Silver Spring says the Baltimore decision could have implications in the anti-abortion pregnancy center's own lawsuit to overturn the Montgomery law.

Montgomery County's law, adopted in February 2010, was modeled after the Baltimore city legislation that US District Judge Marvin J. Garbis ruled violated the centers' freedom of speech.
