“An anti-abortion group has won its long legal fight to force Arizona to issue ‘choose life’ license plates, after the Supreme Court declined to take the case. The justices, without comment Monday, left in place an appeals court ruling in favor of the Arizona Life Coalition, which has sought the special plates for six years. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, said the state commission on license plates violated the group’s constitutional right to free speech by turning down its application. The case is Stanton v. Arizona Life Coalition, 07-1366.” (10/06/08)
