Court OKs Anti-Abortion License PlatesPosted on Mar 17, 2006By Blair Golson Truthdig says:
A federal appeals court allows the state of Tennessee to offer anti-abortion license plates that read, “Choose Life.” The court says that although the decision to offer the plates may be ill-advised, it does not contravene the First Amendment.
AP via Newsday: NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A federal appeals court Friday allowed Tennessee to offer anti-abortion license plates bearing the message “Choose Life.” A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati overturned a lower-court ruling that said the tag illegally promoted only one side of the abortion debate. “Although this exercise of government one-sidedness with respect to a very contentious political issue may be ill-advised, we are unable to conclude that the Tennessee statute contravenes the First Amendment,” Judge John M. Rogers said in a 2-1 ruling. Previous item: NYPD Engaging in 'Proactive' Protester Arrests Next item: Grim Details Emerge in New Detainee Abuse Scandal Elsewhere: .

Would the ‘choose life’ logo be disallowed on plates with the digits ‘666’?

Who are we to believe the demagogues of religion and politics who use and abuse God or God?
Dont take my word for it, read Numbers 5: 12-29 you will find that a man who suspects his wife of adultery should take her to a priest who will administer a potion and question her. If she tells the truth she shall conceive, if she lies she will abort. So at least in this instance God is in favor of abortion unlike the Catholic Church, Southern Baptists etal. who know better then God.
Report thisGod not only sanctioned abortion but commanded it.
