39. So, would those of you who are upset still be so
upset if it were "pro-choice" plates that were being approved? I thought not. See, the First Amendment is a bit funny that way. It doesn't just allow for things that only YOU agree with. It exists for everyone else, too, including people and groups whose message you may not agree with. The anti-abortion groups have just as much right to have their say as the pro-choice groups, and that's true of other groups and issues as well.

It's more than a bit hypocritical to demand that YOUR beliefs be permitted to be expressed, while getting angry if the other side, or beliefs you do NOT agree with, are permitted to have their say as well.

As long as other groups and beliefs are permitted the same expression under this law, then this is the right and proper decision.
