"Choose life" tag
I'm a little surprised this hasn't gotten more notice. From our friends at the Associated Press:
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) _ North Carolina motorists could purchase a new license plate affixed with the words "Choose Life" in a measure approved by the state House Transportation Committee.The panel on Wednesday backed the idea of the plate containing the anti-abortion phrase. More than 300 people would have to request the plate for it to be created.
Proceeds from the additional $25 required for each plate purchased would go to a special fund to benefit crisis pregnancy centers.
The bill now goes to the House Finance Committee.
Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina spokeswoman Paige Johnson said her group opposes the bill and believes legislative leaders won't support allocating money for centers that fail to provide information to women about all of their options if they are pregnant.
