Federal court rules North Carolina 'Choose Life' license plate unconstitutional

Lawmakers approved the anti-abortion plates in 2011 and rejected proposals to offer plates with messages "Trust Women" and "Respect Choice." That constitutes "blatant viewpoint discrimination squarely at odds with the First Amendment," wrote appeals court Judge James A. Wynn, who is from North Carolina.

Seems pretty straight forward...

Exactly. Given that the article says, “Lawmakers approved the anti-abortion plates in 2011 and rejected proposals to offer plates with messages “Trust Women” and “Respect Choice.” It’s pretty cut a dried.

Same should be true if a state doesn’t allow a “Choose Life” but does allow a “Choice” one.

‘Lawmakers approved the anti-abortion plates in 2011 and rejected proposals to offer plates with messages “Trust Women” and “Respect Choice.” ‘

It may make sense at first glance — but then why didn’t they sue to have the above statements allowed on plates, which indeed would make sense — instead of suing to forbid “Choose Life” plates?

Something doesn’t add up...
