I saw this on the WRAL news web page.
"A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked North Carolina from issuing special anti-abortion license plates. The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union suing to prevent the "Choose Life" plates, alleging that they violate the First Amendment because there's no specialty plate for supporters of abortion rights."
My first thought was, so is the ACLU saying that they want a "choose death" license plate?
My second thought was, isn't there something wrong with the premise that not allowing
someone to put words on a license plate is a protection of the First Ammendment right to free speech?
My final thought was, oh, it was the ACLU - not worth wasting my thoughts over that group. And so like many other Americans, I just stopped thinking.
