Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The complaint could be read to allege that [Centro Tepeyac] merely provides information to women, who are then left to decide on their own whether and how to use [Centro TepeyacJ’s pregnancy-related information. This mere provision of information would not seem to be enough to create the type of quasi-fiduciary relationship contemplated by the [Court]. Not every offering of advice or information creates a relationship of trust. Otherwise, the distinction illustrated in Lowe and Thomas between discussion of professional subject matter and practice of a profession would be rendered meaningless.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“As discussed above, the interest in public health and access to medical care may be described as compelling. And, the record is at least colorable at this stage to suggest that the disclaimer is narrowly tailored to meet the interest: only requiring those [limited service pregnancy resource centers] to post a notice that a licensed medical professional is not on staff. It does not require any other specific message and in neutral language states the truth.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“(A) are licensed by the appropriate State agency under Title 8, 14, or 15 of the Health Occupations Article of the Maryland Code; (B) provide medical-related services at the center by either: (i) providing medical services to clients at the Center at least 20 hours per week; or (ii) directly overseeing medical services provided at the Center; and (C) are employed by or offer services at the Center.”
