“Choose Life” license plates found unconstitutional.



A federal appeals court upheld a 2012 ruling that North Carolina’s “Choose life” license plates are unconstitutional.
Choosing life is no longer the American way.
WRAL reoirted:

A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld a 2012 court ruling that North Carolina’s decision to issue special anti-abortion license plates is unconstitutional because the state doesn’t offer similar plates supporting abortion rights.

In a unanimous ruling, a three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the proposed “Choose Life” plates represent “blatant viewpoint discrimination squarely at odds with the First Amendment.”

The decision upholds a December 2012 ruling by U.S. District Judge James Fox in Raleigh, which came 13 months after he blocked the state from issuing the plates while a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union was pending.

North Carolina lawmakers authorized the “Choose Life” plate in 2011, with a portion of the proceeds from sales of the plates earmarked for a nonprofit that supports crisis pregnancy centers. The law prohibited money from the plates from going to any group that promoted abortion.

Ok, fix it by issuing a plate that says "Choose Death".
