A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday ruled that a crisis pregnancy center stated a plausible claim that a New York labor law unconstitutionally burdened its right to expressive association under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
The Evergreen Association, which operates crisis pregnancy centers, and its president sued New York state officials in 2020, challenging a state labor law referred to as the “Boss Bill” for infringing on their constitutional rights.
