Court Allows Missouri to Offer Pro-Life License Plates
01-24-2008
A federal court ruled Wednesday that the “Choose Life” slogan can remain on Missouri license plates, calling the state’s approval process for specialty plates unconstitutional.
Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) filed suit against Missouri Department of Revenue officials in 2006 after two state senators objected to the pro-life viewpoint of the plate proposed by Choose Life of Missouri.
“Pro-life organizations shouldn’t be penalized for expressing their beliefs,” said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Joel Oster. “Unfortunately, that’s how Missouri officials unfairly discriminated when they denied Choose Life the right to exercise their free speech rights, and today the court agreed.”
PRAISE THE LORD!!
