A federal judge’s has made a decision on “choose life” license plates, as to whether or not they should be allowed in the state.  Here is the statement below.

“The State’s offering of a Choose Life license plate in the absence of a pro-choice plate constitutes viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment,” US District Judge James C. Fox ruled."

"A viewpoint discrimination....."  What does that mean anyway!  Really.  It has become official.  I knew many of our public officials did not have a spine, but now I suppose they don't have a brain either.

A viewpoint discrimination.  What a joke.  Isn't that what the First Amendment is about in the first place, the right to a viewpoint that discriminates other view points.  Every view point is discriminatory.  

Let's look at the First AMendment once again shall we:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Abridging the freedom of speech....Isn't that what the ruling by the federal judge is doing. 

What about petitioning the Government for redress of grievances.....each license plate is a petition against the government for grievances if they want to make about abortion as the federal judge is trying to do.

Choosing life is a slogan that does not discriminates against those who choose death.  Since when is choosing life narrowly confined to the abortion question.   It seems to me it is simply a reminder to all of us about the value of life, from beginning to natural end. 

I say choose life with a discrimination in mind.
