In August 2024, the Massachusetts Liberty Legal Center (MLLC), in partnership with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), filed a federal lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This case challenges the state’s unconstitutional and ideologically motivated campaign to discredit, target, and silence pro-life pregnancy resource centers.
Pregnancy resource centers, like our client, Your Options Medical, exist to protect life and offer compassionate support to women facing unplanned pregnancies. These centers provide free services such as ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, counseling, parenting classes, and essential baby supplies. Their mission is rooted in the unwavering belief that every human life has inherent dignity and value, beginning at conception.
Instead of respecting this life-affirming work, the Commonwealth has pursued an aggressive strategy of hostility and suppression, aiming to undermine the free speech and outreach of these faith-based organizations simply because they advocate for the unborn.
In response to our lawsuit, the state filed a motion to dismiss the case. We are now preparing for a hearing on May 8, 2025, where MLLC and ACLJ will present oral arguments before the court, urging it to allow the case to move forward and affirm the constitutional rights of pro-life centers to continue their mission without government interference or retaliation.
This hearing is a critical milestone in the fight for life and liberty in Massachusetts. We invite you to join us in prayer for wisdom and strength for our legal team, for clarity and courage in the courtroom, and for a just decision that upholds the rights of those who serve women and speak out for the unborn.
This case is about more than legal rights. It is about standing boldly for the sanctity of life, defending religious liberty, and ensuring that pro-life ministries can operate in freedom, without fear of censorship or punishment.
Thank you for standing with us. Your continued prayers and support are making a difference.
