The National Organization for Women, a Palm Beach County synagogue and two other plaintiffs were seeking recall of the plates, saying the "Choose Life" phrase was irrevocably intertwined with religion.

So if this were the case, I guess that the phrase "Choose Death" would be irrevocably intertwined with National Organization for Women.

I'm for the right of women to choose, but I'm not a pusher. As for those who are active on the choice side, having NOW and their wacky ideas around, probably doesn't help very much.

I've always got one word for those N.O.W. nuts - M O N I C A!

Ridiculous. People should be able to band together to get any message from DMV on their license plates without PC (or any other kind) censorship.

Leon County Circuit Judge Nikki Ann Clark

Wait a minute...isn't this the judge that had a role in the Election 2000 debacle? Wasn't she described as an independent liberal?

Leon County Circuit Judge Nikki Ann Clark

Flash from that past! She was the judge Rev Jesse "observed" during last year's election trials. So many Freepers were *sure* the "fix was in" (with heavy racial overtones) and she'd toss the ballots the Dems had challenged. She didn't.

Where are those apologies she was due?

I guess "Free Speech" applies only to those whom NOW approves.

"Go Away.....NOW!"

I fail to see how the phrase "Choose Life" could possibly offend anyone.

(Unless they wish they had never been born.)

Yeah...That's it.

"This is a religious slogan, it comes from Deuteronomy," said Barry Silver, the lawyer for NOW. "We feel that a license plate is the wrong vehicle to convey a religious slogan."

I get the impression that if Hitler were the only Dem party canidate, and said that he supported abortion on demand, he would get unanimous support from these people.

Religion: "a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, . . . usu. involving devotional and ritual boservances, and often containing a moral code for the conduct of human affiars." (Webster's Dictionary.)

"The government shall not establish a religion nor the free excercise thereof."

Let's see....yep, I guess saying "choose life" is establishing a religion.

A judge on Wednesday threw out a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Florida's Choose Life license plate, which opponents had claimed amounted to a state-sponsored religious message. The National Organization for Women, a Palm Beach County synagogue and two other plaintiffs were seeking recall of the plates, saying the "Choose Life" phrase was irrevocably intertwined with religion.

CHOOSE Freedom of speech

CHOOSE Monica

Here is where I get into trouble. My wife is Jewish and anti-abortion. Always voted Dem until Bush ran. She could not stomach killing children. As abortion is murder under Jewish Law, why was the Palm Beach County synagogue involved? Guess they are not Orthodox - since they said it was a religious phrase. Are they then Anti Christian? I can only see a license plate or any other statement as MY FREEDOM OF SPEACH! And an expression of my personal choice.

Thanks to NOW, I will be acquiring one of those plates. I also thought the "Right to Life..." was part of the US constitution, even preceding the right to happiness. Hapiness is what NOW sees when they kill an innocent child; they only see ONE CHOICE, death. The right to chose is fine, but what is the child's choice?

Why not step on illegal immigration, and ban abortion? Then we will have an America of Americans and if people do not want a child, put it up for adoption. If they do not interfere with a fetus they will have a child; so taking an act to terminate a child is MURDER in my opinion. Personally, I would insist that pro abortion people have Chose Death Plates...that way we know who the trash is.
