"Speakers should not be forced by their government to promote a message with which they disagree, and pro-life pregnancy centers in California should not be forced to advertise abortion and undermine the very reason they exist," stated Sessions.

"This Department will continue to vigorously defend the freedom of all Americans to speak peacefully in accord with their deeply held beliefs and conscience."

Jeffrey B. Wall, deputy solicitor general with the Department of Justice, helped argue the NIFLA case before the high court, alongside the Alliance Defending Freedom.
