United States Fifth Circuit

Individual, taxpayer, and organizational plaintiffs, whose alleged injuries included anticipated future impropriety, not having a license plate to allow expression of pro-choice views, and exclusion from eligibility to receive grants from Choose Life Fund, lacked standing to challenge the constitutionality of La. Rev. Stat. 47:463.61, which authorizes a license plate bearing a "Choose Life" message and creates Choose Life Fund from proceeds.
