U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has joined Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Ted Budd (R-NC) in submitting an amicus curiae brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on August 28, 2025. The filing is related to the case First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin.
The senators argue that First Choice Women’s Resource Centers was subjected to a subpoena that they describe as baseless and infringing on the organization’s First Amendment right to association because of its pro-life and pro-Christian stance.
“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.”
The brief supports the position that compelling disclosure of donor information from nonprofit organizations may threaten confidentiality and could deter individuals from associating with groups advocating certain beliefs.
