Arizona drivers will be able to put a pro-life license plate on their cars, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal on the case.
For six years, the Arizona Life Coalition has sought to create a "Choose Life" license plate. In January, the notoriously liberal 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a lower-court ruling and decided the plates are constitutional.
Peter Gentala, attorney for the Arizona Life Coalition and The Center for Arizona Policy, applauded the court's decision.
"Life-affirming expression is constitutionally protected just like any other speech," he said. "(Our) message has been censored for over six years. Now it's time for the License Plate Commission to act quickly to approve the plates so they can go into production, as the law requires."
The plates could be available within a few months.
