Austin ordinance forces pregnancy resource centers to highlight abortion
ADF, allied groups challenge law that requires pro-life centers to post signs designed to deter women
AUSTIN, Texas — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund and two pro-life organizations filed a lawsuit Thursday on behalf of Austin LifeCare, a pregnancy resource center, against the city of Austin. The lawsuit challenges an ordinance that forces pro-life pregnancy centers to post signs declaring that they do not provide abortions and other services. Centers that do not post the signs face stiff financial penalties. After a federal judge struck down a similar Baltimore ordinance in January, ADF attorneys secured an initial injunction against an ordinance in Montgomery County, Md., and recently won an injunction that suspends an ordinance in New York City.
