Illinois Choose Life license plate gets second legal brief at Supreme Court
Today, attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed a friend-of-the-court brief.
“Pro-life and pro-adoption organizations shouldn’t be censored just because not everyone agrees with their viewpoint,” ADF senior legal counsel Steven Aden told LifeNews.com.
“The State of Illinois cannot treat the ‘Choose Life’ message differently than it treats other messages that advocate causes in a program that is open to all non-profit organizations. To do so is classic viewpoint discrimination, which is unquestionably unconstitutional,” he said.
Other federal appeals courts have upheld the First Amendment rights of “Choose Life” plates in other states, Aden explained
