Clarence Thomas devastated the case of the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office against a pregnancy center, which it demanded ‘extensive documentation’ from despite no evidence of wrongdoing.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas struck a potentially fatal blow to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office’s case defending its investigation of a pro-life pregnancy center, by getting an attorney to admit it had received no actual complaints about the center.

As previously covered by LifeSiteNews, New Jersey Democrat Attorney General Matt Platkin issued a consumer alert in 2022 branding pro-life crisis pregnancy centers as “seek(ing) to prevent people from accessing [so-called] comprehensive reproductive health care”; it was later revealed that his office collaborated with America’s largest abortion chain, Planned Parenthood, on the final draft of the alert.
First Choice Women’s Resource Centers sued Platkin over its efforts to force the nonprofit to “produce extensive documentation” without reasonable cause and under threat of punishment for “possible violations of ‘the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act’” in its promotion of Abortion Pill Reversal, a safe method of counteracting abortion pills by administering extra progesterone, the natural hormone mifepristone blocks, which has a success rate over 60 percent.
“Platkin selectively targeted First Choice Women’s Resource Centers based on its religious speech and pro-life views,” declared Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) at the time, noting that he “does not refer to any substantive evidence of wrongdoing to justify his onerous demands” but rather embarked on a fishing expedition in hopes of finding damaging material on an entity that he politically opposes. In February 2024, ADF filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to order a federal district court to hear the case.
The nation’s highest court agreed to hear the case, with the normally reserved Thomas cutting to the heart of the matter with his cross-examination.
Justice Thomas forces the New Jersey AG’s chief counsel to admit the state issued a subpoena for a pro-life pregnancy center’s donors without receiving a single complaint about the organization.
