WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — Stanton Public Policy Center plans to hold prayer/candlelight vigil at the Supreme Court on Sunday, October 5, from 7:00-8:00 PM
The name of the event is, “Hands Off Our Clinics,” and it is on the eve of the Supreme Court opening their new session on Monday, October 6.
The Supreme Court will be hearing the case, “First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin.” This case involves the question on whether the Attorney General of New Jersey can compel faith-based pregnancy resource centers to hand over the names of its donors as part of a state investigation.
Brandi Swindell, Founder/CEO of Stanton Public Policy Center, states:
“As the Supreme Court hears ‘First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Platkin,’ we say loud and clear: Hands Off Our Clinics.
“We stand in solidarity with every life-affirming clinic and pregnancy resource center throughout New Jersey and the nation facing targeted attacks. This case is an affront to women, to families, and to the sacred trust of life-affirming care. Forcing centers to turn over confidential client, donor, volunteer, and staff information is not justice — it is targeted intimidation.
“We will not be bullied!
“We will gather together for a time of prayer and worship, with candles lit, united in hope and determination.”
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Chief Strategy Officer for Stanton Public Policy Center adds:
“It is tragic that the State Of New Jersey is harassing and attempting to crush the 1st Amendment rights of a center that provides care and support to women facing unexpected pregnancies. This is nothing but ‘Lawfare’ against the pregnancy resource center movement.
“We will be praying the Supreme Court reaffirms the founding principles of the 1st Amendment and ends these targeted attacks by the government against life-affirming centers and clinics.
“Our message is clear. Stop the bullying. Hands off our clinics.”
