Federal judge blocks Louisiana's `Choose Life' specialty license plates
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2003/07/09/national1831EDT0755.DTL

"A federal judge on Tuesday blocked Louisiana from issuing specialty license plates, dealing a victory to abortion-rights activists who challenged the state's decision to allow "Choose Life" plates.

U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval ruled that Louisiana's system for specialty plates violates the First Amendment because it allows the anti-abortion plates but does not offer one for the opposing view."

3. oOOOOOoooo...now that's good!
If the money spent on these plates didn't go to anti-abortion activists, I would buy one and glue a photo of Old Sparky over the stupid stick-kid picture.

2. YaaaaY! I hope Mississippi's is next!
That is the best news I have heard all day. Let's hope the license plates in other states fall like dominoes on a linoleum floor!
