ACLU challenges “Choose Life” license plate

From here:

The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina filed a lawsuit challenging a specialty license plate that supports the pro-life stance on abortion.  State lawmakers authorized the “Choose Life” plate, although a pro-choice plate was voted down.

ACLU legal director Katy Parker says the state cannot allow only one side of the argument to be heard. “This would be discrimination regardless of which side was being supported by the state,” said Parker.  The ACLU claims the State is engaging in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.

The ACLU has a point. To balance things, there should be a pro-abortion plate that reads “Choose Death”.
