The First Amendment Scored a Rare 9-0 Victory

June 18, 2026

Can the government compel a faith-based ministry to disclose private donor information? 

That question led to a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling in favor of a New Jersey pregnancy resource center.

While the case involves a pregnancy center, the principles at stake reach far beyond the life issue. The Court’s ruling reinforces protections for free association, donor privacy and the constitutional rights of Americans to support causes they believe in without fear of government intimidation.

In our latest Family Policy Alliance Report podcast, Craig DeRoche sits down with Gabriella McIntyre of ​Alliance Defending Freedom​, who helped secure the victory before the nation’s highest court.

Together, they discuss:

  • How a request for donor records became a major First Amendment case
  • The support the pregnancy center received from unexpected allies
  • Why even Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson questioned the legal basis for New Jersey’s case
  • What decades-old legal precedent led to the unanimous decision
  • What this decision could mean for ministries, nonprofits and advocacy organizations nationwide

The ruling was decisive, but the broader fight is not over.

Watch the full conversation to hear the attorney behind the case explain what happened, why it matters and what comes next.
