An anti-abortion group has lost its attempt to force the state to issue driver license plates with “Choose Life” printed on them. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal from the federal appeals court decision. The Seventh Circuit ruling held that the Illinois system for approving specialty plates was not discriminatory.
The case, Choose Life Illinois v. White, was filed in 2004 after citizens had collected more than the necessary number of signatures, but were denied a “Choose Life” license plate. As in other states, the proceeds from the proposed “Choose Life” license plates would have been directed to organizations such as pregnancy care centers that provide adoption counseling and referrals.
