An appellate court sided with the state of Illinois after it denied the group Choose Life Illinois specialty license plates with the slogan "Choose Life."
Now, the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) has filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court asking for a review of the case.
Steven Aden, senior legal counsel for ADF, said the message should not be censored.
"ADF is asking the Supreme Court to take the case," he said, "because we believe what happened here is unconstitutional discrimination against the pro-life viewpoint, in violation of the free-speech clause in the First Amendment."
"Choose Life" plates are available in 19 states, and have been approved in five others.
