RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVR) – A U.S. District judge ruled North Carolia’s pro-life license plates unconstitutional, according to a report on MyFox8.com.
The report indicated the judge found the “Choose Life” license plate violated the First Amendment because the state did not offer a similar license plate that supported abortion rights.
