South Carolina anti abortion plates ruled unconstitutional
The Fourth Circuit upheld a ruling finding South Carolina anti abortion license plates unconstitutional. The panel said the plates created a viewpoint discriminatory forum favoring anti abortion advocates over abortion rights supporters. The court noted the $70 fee would fund private crisis pregnancy programs, excluding abortion groups, and urged steering to nonpolitical specialty plates. The state plans to appeal.
