The New Jersey attorney general’s battle against a Christian pregnancy resource center will take center stage at the Supreme Court next week as Democrat officials ramp up the lawfare against pro-life organizations.  On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about whether First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a Christian pregnancy center, can fight back in federal court against New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s attempt to gain access to its donor lists and promotion of the abortion pill reversal. Platkin issued a wide-ranging subpoena targeting the crisis pregnancy center as part of an investigation into whether they had lied about their services.  “If our attorney general can bully us, it can happen in other states that promote abortion. It’s our hope that our efforts will result in protection for pregnancy centers across the nation. There is such a great need in New Jersey for women to consider all of their pregnancy options and not think that abortion is their only option,” Aimee Huber, the executive director of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, said in a press call.  First Choice has centers in five of New Jersey’s largest cities, including New Brunswick, Newark, Morristown, Montclair, and Jersey City. Services include free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and options counseling. They also offer a parenting program that provides essential needs such as baby clothes and diapers. Since 1985, they have aided over 36,000 women.  Represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, First Choice sued Platkin after he subpoenaed them in November 2023 for ten years of documents related to its promotion of the abortion pill reversal, information they provided to clients and donors, personnel records, and copies of every advertisement the centers had run.  “There were no allegations of wrongdoing,” Huber said. “It was simply a fishing expedition. Receiving the subpoena was completely overwhelming. We are a small nonprofit, and the idea of compiling so much information was completely daunting.” In June 2025, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case after First Choice’s lawsuit hit snags at the federal district court and appeals court levels. The official question granted by the court is as follows: “Whether a federal suit challenging a subpoena issued by a state attorney general is justiciable if a state court has not yet issued an order directing the recipient to comply with the subpoena.” Responding to the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the case, Platkin said that the subpoena he issued was lawful and accused First Choice of hiding information about its operations.  “First Choice—a crisis pregnancy center operating in New Jersey—has for years refused to answer questions about their operations in New Jersey and the potential misrepresentations they have been making, including about reproductive healthcare,” Platkin said. “I remain committed to enforcing our fraud laws without fear or favor against anyone who would harm or violate the rights of our residents, no matter how powerful the entity on the other side.” Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale.

Alliance Defending Freedom lawyer Lincoln Wilson said that the central question before the high court was whether First Choice had the right to challenge Platkin’s subpoena in federal court.  Fundamentally, though, Wilson said the case was about First Choice’s associational rights.  “Any organization, right or left, no matter which side of the aisle you’re on, there needs to be the ability to keep this information confidential,” he said. “And if the government can just go ahead on a pretextual theory and demand that you turn over the names of your donors, then everyone in this country is less free.” The Trump administration is backing First Choice with the Justice Department filing an amicus brief arguing that First Choice should be allowed to pursue its federal lawsuit.  “A party has standing to challenge a subpoena, and such a challenge is ripe, if the party faces a credible threat that the government will bring proceedings to enforce the subpoena. Because petitioner satisfies that test, this suit is justiciable,” the Justice Department wrote.   Pregnancy centers across the country that support vulnerable women in blue states like California, New York, and Illinois have all faced legal challenges for promoting the abortion pill reversal protocol.  The protocol is a method backed by pro-life organizations where a woman can take a prescribed dose of bioidentical progesterone to potentially reverse the effects of Mifepristone and save an unborn child if she changes her mind at the last minute about going through with the abortion. New Jersey has enshrined abortion into the state’s constitution and has no pro-life protections in place. Huber said that the expansive abortion laws created an environment where anyone offering an alternative would be targeted.  “Our state has done everything they could to make New Jersey a sanctuary state for abortion,” she said. “Since pregnancy centers like ours do not perform or refer for abortion, we are targets for a government that disagrees with our views.”

D4vd built his path in music from a world that most young artists only dream about mastering so early. He grew up in Houston, and his first creative focus was producing gaming content for YouTube. The unexpected twist came when copyright issues pushed him to create his own music so that he could continue using original audio in his videos. That practical need became a career-changing moment when he started recording in his sister’s walk-in closet with nothing more than the BandLab app as his studio. Those homemade recordings began forming a catalog that would reshape his life. His breakout The post Complete List Of D4vd Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc explore the Left’s troubling and growing acceptance of political violence.  Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to VDH’s own YouTube channel to watch past episodes.    SAMI WINC: Victor, I just wanted to get your reflections on how we’ve had two assassination attempts on Donald Trump [less than] two years ago. And most recently, in this last year Charlie Kirk, of course, was assassinated. Is this something that is growing and going to be common or is this an aberration and going to die off in our culture? VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Well, the four most noticeable ones, that’s a pretty good pool to make a generalization. There was Tyler Robinson, who did kill Charlie Kirk. There was Luigi Mangione, who killed the United Healthcare executive. There was Ryan Routh, who tried to kill Trump. And there was Thomas Crooks, who hit Trump in the ear and killed another person and wounded two. Is there a pattern? Yes. They’re all four people of the Left. They’re all four, not just people of the Left, but activists incited by particular left-wing dogmas. In the case of Tyler Robinson, he was into the trans movement, this weird, furry movement, and felt that Charlie Kirk was probably an obstacle to that. In the case of Crooks, he had gone from either isolated, crazy, conservative to hard Left, and he had bought into the idea that Donald Trump was an existential threat, and he hated him.   If you look at Luigi Mangione, he was an overeducated nepo baby who believed that the health care [system] and the whole corporate world was unfair to poor people, and they weren’t getting health care. So, who’s going to take out one, the biggest, United Healthcare? So he thought. That’s what he claimed.   If you were Ryan Routh, he said so many crazy things, but he hated Trump because he thought he was going to cut off aid to Ukraine, everything.   So now we have the idea that they are all trying to kill conservatives. By the way, there’s more of them than the opposite. If you count the eight or nine trans cases. Somebody just sent me something that was on the Libs of TikTok—I can’t assess the veracity of it. People who commit shootings of over four people based on their race or sexual orientation? The largest group shooting people were people who identified as trans or were in the trans movement of some way. I don’t know how you adjudicate all of those, whether you count Thomas Crook or you count Tyler Robinson who were somewhere there. Whether pronouns or furry animals or whatever crazy, kooky thing they are. But my point is this: That seems to be more common. And you go back to Stephen Scalise and other stuff.   OK, why are they doing it now? If you were an Old Testament person, you would say that they’re pretty convinced that nobody who shoots anybody goes to the death penalty, and very few get life in prison without parole. And there’s a good chance if you shoot somebody and you’re young enough, you’ll be out. Number one.  Number two, the invective on social media—and that’s where they live, on social media—is all anti-Trump, anti-Trump, anti-corporate. It’s Left. There’s a huge left-wing. And the invective they’re using: Fascist, fascist, fascist, fascist, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, Hitler. In that environment, these people who are mentally ill or deranged or into some sex cult or into some left-wing bazaar are idolized. And they think if they shoot a conservative activist like Charlie Kirk or a health care executive, or Donald Trump, they’re going to be canonized, famous. They’re not going to be demonized. And the post-facto results show they’re absolutely correct. They’re making an opera out of Luigi Mangione in the Bay Area. Tyler Robinson, people were already making fun of how Charlie Kirk died. They were reenacting, holding their neck. They had t-shirts with blood on their neck. They were crazy.   As far as Trump, there were people almost immediately who said, “He missed.” They weren’t upset on the Left. So, to review. If the general jurisprudence is weaponized and in general, it’s therapeutic now and that people who shoot and kill … even Decarlos Brown that killed poor Iryna [Zarutska] on the North Carolina subway, I don’t think he’s going to get the death penalty. He’s been out so many times. And the guy who just tried to burn to death the girl on the [Chicago train]. So, the system sends a message to these four. You’re not going to really pay the ultimate price. And then it sends message number two that if you do do this, you’re going to be canonized as a political hero in some quarters. And number three, you’re going to be famous. You add all of that up, and there’s a fourth. It’s going to be lax, the security, because these are not popular people. I don’t mean that conspiracy like some people are saying that Donald Trump was set up. I do believe that [under] the head of the Secret Service—Trump was not president—it was Joe Biden’s Secret Service, and she was fired—there was a general laxity that said, “That’s just Trump. Just go down to Pennsylvania and go through the motions, but don’t scour every building or if somebody comes in and he kind of lets off an alarm …” Yeah, that kind of attitude, which they didn’t have with Obama or Biden. And that was pretty much part of the idea. If you do it, there’s not going to be a lot of consequences, but you could get away with it.   And if you’re at a university, and you’re walking around and Charlie Kirk is speaking and you just walk in broad daylight, you know, kind of limping around with an odd object or whatever you had to have, a gun, and then you go up on a roof, nobody says anything and you’re right. So laxity, laxity, laxity. Yeah, that explains it. Is it going to happen again? Absolutely. WINC: Yeah.  HANSON: Because if somebody gets shot tomorrow, if Donald Trump is assassinated tomorrow, two things will be much harder. He’s got a good Secret Service now, and he’s going to be much better protected. But if somebody gets close enough to try it, will that person to be canonized? Yes. Just look at those attacking the ICE people, trying to shoot ICE. So, we have assassination chic right now. We publish a variety of perspectives.
