RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A California state trial court issued a permanent injunction on October 30 in The Scharpen Foundation vs. Kamala Harris against California’s AB 775, which imposes onerous notification and disclosure requirements on pro-life crisis pregnancy centers.
Under this law, pro-life pregnancy centers are required to conspicuously post a message alerting all who enter that California offers free and low-cost abortions with a local phone number for more information.
The Scharpen Foundation is represented by Bob Tyler, according to Liberty Counsel.
All licensed and unlicensed pregnancy counseling centers in the state are required to post a government-prescribed message in their facilities and in their online advertising or be fined $500 for the first violation and $1,000 for each additional violation.
In its October 30 decision, the Riverside County Superior Court permanently halted enforcement of the law, finding that it violates the right to free speech under the California Constitution.
