Federal Judge: 'Choose Life' License Plate Unconstitutional

FOX NEWS: A federal judge has ruled a North Carolina plan to offer license plates supporting the pro-life movement unconstitutional, saying the state cannot issue the plates without offering a similar product for the opposing viewpoint.

A spokeswoman for the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office told The Associated Press Monday the state hasn’t decided whether to appeal the decision from U.S. District Court Judge James Fox. His order from Friday follows the one he issued more than a year that temporarily blocked North Carolina from offering the plates.Fox said in his judgement that the state’s plan violates the First Amendment. The proposed license plate featured two children with the words “Choose Life” printed above them.
