The "Choose Life" license plate that originated in Florida in 1999 has been approved in 13 states to date. Already, more than 60,000 motorists have raised over $5 million dollars to fund pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes by using these license plates.On March 9, 2006, Choose Life License Plates succeeded in New York when an appelate court dismissed a lawsuit by pro-abortion groups seeking to stop them.
In Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Hawaii, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, Tennessee, South Dakota, Montana, and now New York, Choose Life plates are onsale. These plates promote adoption and have certainly saved thousands of unborn lives. South Carolina's law was ruled unconstitutional. Most states donate the proceeds to adoption groups, but Alabama, Hawaii, Maryland and Montana donate some of the funds collected to pro-life organizations.
Updates:
- In June 2006, Indiana has approved Choose Life Plates
- New Jersey lawsuit against Choose Life Plates thrown out
- In November 2006, Georgia has approved Choose Life Plates
- In January 2007, Illinois has approved Choose Life Plates
- In Februrary 2007, Pennsylvania now sells Choose Life Plates
Unfortunately, Hawaii and Montana also have license plates supporting abortion.
If you live in the US and your state does not yet have Choose Life plates then please select your state and see what you can do to help. You may just need to sign a petition.
