In January, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Arizona License Plate Commission violated the First Amendment when it refused to approve a request for a "Choose Life" license plate. Today, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the state's request for an appeal in the case, so the previous decision stands.

The Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) has worked with our friends at the Alliance Defense Fund for over six years to stop the License Plate Commission from discriminating against the "Choose Life" viewpoint. The Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case upholds the principle that life-affirming expression is constitutionally protected just like any other speech. Now it's time for the License Plate Commission to act quickly to approve the plates so they can go into production as the law requires.

There are still legal steps that need to be completed before the plates will be available, but we are gathering a list of those who are interested in obtaining a "Choose Life" license plate. If you are interested, please send your name and contact information to info@azpolicy.org. Be sure to put "Choose Life Plate" in the subject line so that we can properly process your request. Please do not expect an immediate response as the plates will take some time to manufacture. Proceeds from plate sales go to support the Arizona Life Coalition's work in the community.
