Turnabout is fair play: "Activists push pro-choice license plate in Va."

[Contrary1]

Legislature already has approved plates carrying ‘Choose Life’ variations

"RICHMOND, Va. - Abortion-rights advocates have been unable to halt the "Choose Life" license plate variations in nearly two-dozen states, so now they're working to balance the bumper debate.

Activists are pushing a "Trust Women/Protect Choice" license plate in Virginia, which would become only the fourth state to offer a pro-choice plate and the first to require legislative approval for it. Supporters have threatened to sue if lawmakers don't give drivers the option.

"We really don't feel like a license plate is the place to be promoting a political agenda," said Tarina Keene, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia. "However, the pro-choice community feels like they're being taken on by the anti-choice side with this license plate, and we feel like we need to get involved."

Opponents, including the state's attorney general and governor, say they oppose diverting money from plate fees to Planned Parenthood offices — not necessarily the plates themselves..."

1. Good start.

Not aggressive enough for me personally, but if that's the best we can do for now, fine idea.

2. I wish we had similar plates in Mississippi.

Every time I see one of those "Choose Life" plates, I think of how unfair it is that I can't have a pro-choice plate. However, our legislature would probably not pass a law that would force them to make pro-choice plates and even if they did, the governor would probably not sign it.

3. Wow.. The plate says trust women/ respect choice.. yet in the write up

they replace the respect choice with protect choice... which is different.
