Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) joined Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ted Budd (R-NC) in filing anamicus curiaebrief on August 28, 2025, inFirst Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkinbefore the U.S. Supreme Court. The brief defends First Choice, which was subjected to a baseless subpoena that infringed on its First Amendment right to association because of its pro-life, pro-Christian views.
“First Choice was unfairly targeted for defending the unborn with an outrageous subpoena, demanding a list of their donors and private records, or risk judicial sanctions,”said Lummis.“This is not just an infringement of constitutional rights, this is an unmistakable assault on life. I am proud to join my colleagues in defending First Choice’s sacred mission to protect mothers and unborn children.”
