As we get closer to America\u2019s Rededication to the Lord. IFA intercessors are hard at work with America\u2019s Spiritual Heritage Project (ASHP). New Jersey had a major victory a month after their rededication. I pray that this encourages every intercessor to know that ASHP is not a gimmick but a tool for taking back our states, cities, counties, or governmental entities. Through prayers and proclamation, we are inviting the Presence of God to come and have His way in the nation.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

IFA NJ State Leader Donna Hart (seated) signs an ASHP proclamation with IFA NJ intercessors.<\/p>\n

On Monday, March 23, 2026, IFA New Jersey State Leader, Donna Hart, and a team of faithful intercessors gathered at their State House in Trenton, New Jersey. Inside the State House, they signed the ASHP national proclamation and a New Jersey proclamation. Although none of their representatives joined this rededication, the intercessors were stirred in their hearts. \u201c<\/span>We all felt that it was such a sacred moment. Wow, we have done something very important. We have honored the Lord<\/span>,\u201d said Donna. The intercessors were excited. One intercessor, who attends church with Donna, said,<\/span> \u201c<\/span>We really moved mountains, didn\u2019t we<\/span>? <\/span>She replied<\/span>, <\/span>we did, what a powerful moment.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

One month later, on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, New Jersey had a major win for life in a unanimous Supreme Court 9-0 ruling.<\/span> First Choice Women\u2019s Resource Centers, Inc. vs Davenport,<\/span> a network of New Jersey faith-based Pro-Life pregnancy centers, can challenge a state Attorney General\u2019s subpoena for donor records in federal court.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the decision, which reverses rulings by both the federal district and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. It does not decide whether the subpoena is unconstitutional but gives First Choice the right to argue its case before a federal judge. The previous rulings denied that to the Women\u2019s pregnancy centers.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

The challenge began under the outgoing Murphy Administration in 2022<\/span> when then Attorney General Matthew Platkin established a \u201c<\/span>reproductive rights task force,<\/span>\u201d which targeted pro-life centers. His office issued a <\/span>consumer alert<\/span> accusing pregnancy centers of seeking to prevent people from accessing \u201creproductive health care\u201d (abortion) by providing \u2018false or misleading\u2019 abortion information.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0The next year, 2023, the Murphy administration, through the Attorney General, issued a subpoena demanding the production of 28 categories of documents, including names, phone numbers, addresses, and places of employment of virtually all of their donors.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote, \u201c<\/span>Over and over again, we have held those demands burden the exercise of First Amendment rights. Disputing none of these precedents but seeking ways around them, the Attorney General has offered a variety of arguments. Some are old, some are new, but none succeed<\/span>.\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Alliance Defending Freedom Attorney Erin Hawley called it \u201ca resounding victory\u201d and said that the \u201cdemands of a hostile state official\u201d targeting of a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more for the communities served was simply because of their pro-life views, which is blatantly unconstitutional.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

Intercessors, we can praise God for this win, which has cleared the way for Pregnancy Resource Centers to exercise their constitutional rights. But the battle isn\u2019t over just yet. Here are the ways Donna asked us to pray for New Jersey.\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
