Governor Carney signs bill targeting pregnancy centers into law.

Senate Bill 300 unconstitutionally targets pregnancy centers in DE in an effort to discredit their work and cause mistrust.

SB 300 passed both chambers and received Governor Carney’s signature.

Anti-Pregnancy Center Bill

Your comment will be sent to Governor Carney's liaison, Jonathan Starkey.

SB 300 unfairly targets Pregnancy Centers.

  • Pregnancy Care Centers provide amazing support and resources in your community at no taxpayer expense, yet SB 300 is being used to target them with an unconstitutional and unjustified regulation. Instead of targeting Pregnancy Care Centers, the state should be looking for ways to support their work.
  • SB 300 attempts to regulate the speech of Pregnancy Care Centers by compelling them to post a notice that is inapplicable, misleading, and unjustified. Laws such as SB 300 have been held unconstitutional. (NIFLA v. Becerra, 2018)  The State of DE should not have made this costly mistake.
  • Numerous Delaware bills have passed that remove much needed oversight, accountability, safety, and liability for those in the abortion industry. In contrast, SB 300 clearly targets Pregnancy Care Centers and those who face unplanned or unsupported pregnancies.  

More About SB 300

Senate Bill 300 requires pregnancy care centers (PCCs) to post a government-mandated notice that is inaccurate and misleading, and meant to discredit their services.

Several bills were introduced this year that would reduce medical regulation and accountability in other areas. DE lawmakers have also already removed liability from abortionists, including in cases where the mother dies during the procedure, and have allowed APRNs and physician assistants to perform chemical and surgical abortions.

  • In 2021, House Bill (HB) 31 passed, removing liability from abortionists if the mother dies during the abortion procedure.
    In 2021, The FDA removed the regulations on abortion pills that were intended to protect the mother’s life. 
    In 2022, two bills removed the “safeguard” of only allowing physicians to perform abortions. Now, APRNs and physician assistants can prescribe abortion pills AND perform surgical abortions, also without liability (HB 320, 455).

In light of this, it is hypocritical to increase regulations on Delaware’s pregnancy centers, who have served women in unplanned and crisis pregnancies for decades.

The Supreme Court ruled in the 2018 case NIFLA v. Becerra that a similar law passed in California was an unconstitutional free speech violation.

SB 300 is unnecessary, unconstitutional, and an effort to advance a pro-abortion agenda at the community’s expense.
