Banned as Unconstitutional
For North Carolina residents looking to tout pro-life values on their state-granted license plates, disappointment abounds. U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox has ruled against plates that read “Choose Life” — unless the state government also creates a similar design for individuals who support abortion rights. -- The Blaze
This is a violation of North Carolinians free speech. I wonder if this would have happened if this was a license plate created by the pro-abortion (pro-choice) crowd? Would the judge have deemed it unconstitutional based on the lack of having a license plate showcasing the other side? Somehow I doubt it. This judge misinterpreted the First Amendment and squelched an opposing point of view. His reasoning for declaring the choose life plate unconstitutional is nonsensical. Tyranny meets the U.S. This judge needs our prayers.
I agree with you. Although I respect and endorse the right of states to make their own laws and policies, I see nothing controversial about a Choose Life license plate
