Fourth Circuit: Pregnancy Care Centers should be “afforded the highest levels of First Amendment protection”

Fourth Circuit: Pregnancy Care Centers should be “afforded the highest levels of First Amendment protection” | Americans United for Life | AUL.org: Today the Fourth Circuit handed two victories to pregnancy care centers (PCCs) in Maryland, striking draconian ordinances aimed at coercing PCCs into leading women toward abortion.

These cases, Greater Baltimore Center for Pregnancy Concerns v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore and Centro Tepeyac  v. Montgomery County, were argued by AUL ally and advisor Mark Rienzi.  AUL filed an amicus brief in the Baltimore case on behalf of Care Net, Heartbeat International, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, and several PCCs located in the Baltimore area, demonstrating that PCCs abide by stringent standards and seek to provide the best care and counseling for women.
