This week, the First Amendment Center reported that the 9th Circuit US Court of Appeals overturned a ruling by an Arizona court denying an anti-abortion organization’s request for a special license plate. The license plate, commissioned by the Arizona Life Coalition, was set to say “Choose Life;” however, the Circuit court ruled that the denial of their request for plates was based upon the message set to appear on the plates and not upon an actual legitimate reason.
