Court OKs State's Anti-Abortion License Plates

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 17) - A federal appeals court Friday allowed Tennessee to offer anti-abortion license plates bearing the message "Choose Life."
 
 A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati overturned a lower-court ruling that said the tag illegally promoted only one side of the abortion debate.
"Although this exercise of government one-sidedness with respect to a very contentious political issue may be ill-advised, we are unable to conclude that the Tennessee statute contravenes the First Amendment," Judge John M. Rogers said in a 2-1 ruling.

An anti-abortion group, Tennessee Right to Life, declared victory.
