https://www.nevadacurrent.com/blog/nevadas-anti-abortion-license-plate-discontinued-after-lack-of-support/The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles confirmed Thursday that an anti-abortion specialty license plate has been discontinued after failing to prove its demand.
The Values Life specialty license plate debuted in July 2018 and had until Dec. 31, 2019 to receive 3,000 active registrations. It fell short of that quota.
According to a DMV spokesperson, 2,005 of the specialty were plates were registered by the midnight deadline.
The plate was a fundraising project of the Womens Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada, which describes its mission as helping save the lives of unborn children by sharing the love of Jesus Christ through spiritual, physical, emotional and educational support to our clients. The center explicitly states it does not recommend, provide or refer for abortions.

Also discontinued for failing to garner enough support is the Heritage of Sparks specialty license plate, which featured Last Chance Joe and supports the Sparks Heritage Museum and Cultural Center.

I would tend to agree that the State should not allow political slogans on plates.

It is not their place to do so and I think it wise for the State to guard against subsidizing political groups that claim non-profit status as a dodge even in a small way such as license fees.
