Abortion group went all the way to the Supreme Court in hunt for money.
The Supreme Court will let stand a lower court ruling that said a pro-abortion group in Oklahoma is not entitled to money raised from the sale of pro-life license plates.
In 2004, Oklahoma added Choose Life plates, which cost drivers $35 annually. Seeking a piece of the pie, the Oklahoma Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice sued.
Russ Amerling, spokesman for the Florida-based Choose Life, said the money — about $10,000 since 2004 — is of secondary importance.
“We’ve been telling them for years to stop suing us and get their own license plate," he said, "but the only time they apply for a license plate is when the Choose Life plate is being or has been approved.”
Planned Parenthood has pro-abortion plates in Hawaii and Montana; they are outsold by Choose Life plates by as much as 8-to-1. Abortion groups have similar lawsuits pending in at least three other states.
