Now I don't want to get off on a rant here...

Against Christian Liberties Union (ACLU)

The ACLU has filed a federal lawsuit against the Tennessee General Assembly, entering the Pro-Life/Pro-Choice debate. Many are familiar with specialty license plates that support various organizations including universities and other charitable companies. One of these plates was approved by the State of Tennessee for an organization that supports choosing life over choosing abortion.

Tennessee Tag Launches Legal, Financial Woes

“But when the abortion debate came into the mix — with the Tennessee Legislature approving a Choose Life plate but rejecting a "Pro-Choice" plate — the ACLU sued to have it kept off license plates.”

The ACLU is suing over the wrong thing here. They should be suing to have the “Pro-Choice” license plate recognized, rather than the revocation of the “Choose Life” plates. However, their case seems to be centered on Tennessee only “approving one side of the message”, which is what lawmakers do when they make laws based on moral issues. I doubt very seriously that many objections would be raised if a “Pro-Polygamy” license plate were rejected, even by proponents for Gay Marriage. So I hope their case meets that same fate and the rejection is upheld.

The purpose of the “Choose Life” plates is “to create a specialty license plate with the slogan "Choose Life" whose proceeds would be used to facilitate and encourage adoption as a positive choice for women with unplanned pregnancies.” A noble cause in my estimation and founded on Biblical principles.

Thankfully this is available in Maryland!
