Get a bumper sticker

Abortion is just about the worst political issue out there. It killed the feminist movement -- feminism is now associated with abortion issues, rather than what it should be, which is more opportunities for women to realize their dreams (whatever those dreams are). I am so, so sick of seeing abortion used as a political and religious tool, that the thought of it being on a license plate...frankly, makes me nauseous. Worried about free speech? Get a bumper sticker. Or, as one commenter on the article put it, "Freedom of church and plate." :)

Abortion foes taking license-plate battle to U.S. appellate court

PHOENIX — A coalition of anti-abortion groups wants a federal appeals court to force the state to produce special license plates with the message "choose life."

The Arizona Life Coalition charges in legal papers that a state commission that reviews requests for special plates acted illegally in rejecting its application. The lawsuit asks the three-judge panel to order the members of the Arizona License Plate Commission to approve the plate.

But James Morrow, an assistant state attorney general, said the commission did nothing wrong in rejecting the plates because the message was controversial, and the state should not allow its license plates to be turned "into a billboard for one side of a hotly contested issue."
