"Ill. not required to issue 'Choose Life' plates"

"Ill. not required to issue 'Choose Life' plates": The Associated Press provides a report that begins, "A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Illinois secretary of state's office does not have to issue specialty license plates bearing the slogan 'Choose Life' favored by anti-abortion forces. State officials are within their rights in trying to keep either viewpoint on the emotional issue of abortion off of Illinois license plates, the court said, reversing a January 2007 order from a lower court."

Circuit Judge Diane S. Sykes wrote today's opinion of the court for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

In January 2007, I had this post about the federal district court's ruling in the case. And in November 2007, I had this post about the Seventh Circuit's oral argument (10.1MB mp3 file) of the appeal.
