South Carolina May Allow Choose Life Plate as Government Speech
South Carolina AG Charlie Condon argues that the Choose Life license plate is government speech not private, meaning the state need not provide opposing views. Filed documents in a federal suit claim the plate reflects state preference for childbirth over abortion. Plaintiffs, Planned Parenthood, contend plates are private speech since individuals choose and fund the message on private vehicles. The suit, filed Sept 2001, prompted a 2001 injunction blocking issuance pending the case.
