Choose Life License Plate Challenge Back in Court

The Times-Picayune reports that abortion rights supporters renewed their fight in federal court against Louisiana's "Choose Life" license plates.

Arguments Wednesday came after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in January gave new life to the suit, which it originally ordered Duval to throw out. The appeals court reversed itself and ruled that abortion-rights advocates could sue the state -- for issuing specialty plates in general, not for distributing "Choose Life" plates in particular.

The state argues that the plaintiffs still have no grounds to sue because they have not suffered injury by the law.
