N.J. allows 'Choose Life' license plates after years-long legal battle

 

 

The state has decided to stop its legal fight with a pro-life group over "Choose Life" license plates.

TRENTON — New Jersey's Motor Vehicles Commission has bowed out of a seven-year legal battle and is quietly offering license plates with the slogan "Choose Life."
The plates are available through the Children First Foundation, which first tried to get them approved in 2003.
State officials initially rejected the plates, saying they didn't want to get into a debate over abortion. The state also said it doesn't allow slogans, just the names of the organizations on the plates.
