Lummis Files Amicus Brief Defending First Amendment Freedoms, Protecting Confidentiality of Pro-Life Nonprofit

September 3, 2025

Washington, D.C.- U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) joined Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ted Budd (R-NC) in filing an amicus curiae brief on August 28, 2025, in First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin before 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."
