          IL (LifeNews.com) -- </B>A federal judge turned back pro-abortion objections 
          against the Choose Life license plates in Illinois saying motorists 
          have the free speech rights to purchase them and place them on their 
          automobiles. U.S. District Judge David Coar said protests from abortion 
          advocates don't trump the First Amendment.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.lifenews.com/state2042.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.lifenews.com/img/71ABF5EF-9E5E-4C61-9868-3B78B3A6878B" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.lifenews.com/state2042.html"><FONT size="2" face="Arial%2C%20Helvetica%2C%20sans-serif" color="%23000000">Coar
