Anti-Choice Plates Case Declined

The US Supreme Court declined to hear a case Monday that challenged the distribution of anti-choice license plates in Louisiana. Louisiana provided anti-choice license plates as one of many specialty tags the state offers, but did not offer pro-choice plates. The case, Keeler v. Stalder, was filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights in 2000 on behalf of Doreen Keeler, who had requested a pro-choice plate only to find that no such plate was manufactured.

Dozens of conservative politicians across the country have supported the anti-choice plate trend, including Florida Governor Jeb! Bush, who commented, “It’s a pretty tag that says ‘Choose Life’ and it’s for adoption. If people want to politicize that, they’ll politicize anything,” according to Slate.com. There are currently 13 states selling similar anti-choice license plates.

Hhmm, just the other day the court accepted King Bu$hit's abortion ban case, yet they chose to decline this case...interesting.
