Mountain Right to Life, Inc. v. Becerra
Petition granted, judgment vacated and case remanded for further consideration in light of National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra on June 28, 2018.
Issues: (1) Whether a law compelling faith-based nonprofit crisis pregnancy centers to advertise free or low-cost abortions available from the state, a message in direct contradiction to the organizations' sincerely held religious beliefs, is a content-based restriction of speech subject to strict scrutiny under Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Arizona; (2) whether a law compelling faith-based nonprofit crisis pregnancy centers to advertise free or low-cost abortions available from the state, a message in direct contradiction to the organizations' sincerely held religious beliefs, conflicts with Riley v. National Federation of the Blind of North Carolina, Inc., and other precedents of the Supreme Court and the courts of appeal; and (3) whether a law compelling faith-based nonprofit crisis pregnancy centers to advertise free or low-cost abortions available from the state, a message in direct contradiction to the organizations' sincerely held religious beliefs, conflicts with Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. Hialeah, Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer, and other precedents of the Supreme Court and the courts of appeals.
