The state will issue “Choose Life” license plates now that the Arizona Life Coalition has won its battle up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

And despite the concern among some state officials, we doubt that the intended anti-abortion message will prove to be too contentious.

Colorado started producing a “Respect Life” license plate after the 1999 Columbine High School massacre of a teacher and 14 students, including the two killers.

Anti-abortion activists pay extra for that license plate without even knowing the message is to honor the Columbine victims, the Gazette in Colorado Springs noted last week.

Despite the new Arizona plates, we suspect folks here will continue to choose, well, as they choose.
