Anti-Abortion Group Wins Fight for 'Choose Life' Arizona License Plates
WASHINGTON — An anti-abortion group has won its long legal fight to force Arizona to issue "choose life" license plates, after the Supreme Court declined to take the case.
The justices, without comment Monday, left in place an appeals court ruling in favor of the Arizona Life Coalition, which has sought the special plates for six years.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, said the state commission on license plates violated the group's constitutional right to free speech by turning down its application.
The case is Stanton v. Arizona Life Coalition, 07-1366.

They may find their new plates make good targets.
It isn't the destination that is important; it is what we learn along the way

If that becomes the case those using the plates for targets may be charged with hate crimes then too would they not?

do license plates have constitutional rights in the U.S.?

Let them have their custom plates, who cares? It's freedom of expression. And it's harmless. Just like the people who put stickers and stuff on their bumpers. The only reason that they want the plates is to cause the very situation that is happening. They like the publicity, and if you don't give it to them, they will go away with their stupid plates without infalming the issue.

I agree - I couldn't care less. Unless somebody has a particularly interesting looking vanity plate, I don't look at license plates anyway.

When I had a Datsun 510 many years ago, I had R2D2 II on the license plates of that car. Star Wars was pretty popular in those days.
