The waving of coathanger out the window from a female in a Volvo was interesting.

How does the number of pregant woman who died yearly as a result of abortion complications pre-Roe compare with the number who died similarly in 2001? I suspect the latter number is considerably higher, a statistic which--if my suspicions are correct--should be put forth quite strongly

Was it a plastic kind? These dimbulbs have been seen carrying plastic coathangers to their pro-abort demonstrations! Duh!

Am I splitting hairs? Too sensitive?

Dude, it's about nothing but words! The Left understands it and uses it ("choice", "gaiety", "affirmative action", "racism", etc,) the Right is too often clueless - just watch the use of these terms here on FR. I insist that once you employ their terms, you've lost the argument before it even started. To answer another question in your post, the Left understands the "Choose Life" message, which is why they've been fighting it so hard. It is a brilliant reposte using the Left's highly effective methods. We ought to do more initiatives like it.

ping for you.

----------

I was wondering what a pro-"choice" tag would look like.

What if we FReepers petitioned a Florida tag to help the pro-abortion crowd? Get an image of tiny body parts with a scissor over the message "choose D&C". All we would have to do it submit the petition to make a point (since we are concerned citizens focused on fairness).

From http://www.choose-life.org/index.htm:

Every tag sold raises $20 to help organizations, such as, maternity homes, crisis pregnancy centers and certain non-profit adoption agencies, which are helping women committed to making an adoption plan for their child.

For more information contact us.

Here's that poem again...

Mammy keep me safe, Mammy keep me warm,
And with all your love, help me to form.
I'm six weeks today and a birthday gift to me,
Is a pair of bright blue eyes so that one day I might see.
I've already got my arms, I have a pudgy little nose,
And at the end of my feet are funny little things called toes.

I'm looking forward now to life; icecream,snails,
Teddy bears and long fairy tales.
Where are you going I wonder today?
In a bus, in a car, far far away.

Why are you lying down being pushed on four wheels?
This doesn't happen - how funny it feels.

Banging through doors - all people in green,
If they hurt you Mammy;Mammy just scream.
Don't go asleep Mammy, don't leave me alone.
Mammy I'm scared, I want to go home.
Mammy what's happening, I'm starting to cry.
Run quick Mammy, I don't want to die.

They're killing me Mammy, they're pulling me apart.
My legs, my arms, they're cutting my heart.
Goodbye Mammy;Mammy,Mammy Goodbye.
Thanks for trying, but I won't see the sky.
I won't see the birds or the grass or the trees,
I won't sing sweet songs or feel a strange breeze.
I love you, dear Mammy, I really, really do
And I hope dear Mammy, that you loved me too.

Promotional Choose Life tags have been on Florida cars since 1998 and the real Choose Life tags have been on cars since August 2000. To date I have not heard of a single instance of vandalism against any vehicle with these tags. Russ Amerling National Publicity Coordinator Choose Life, Inc. russ@choose-life.org

The statute that provided for the Choose Life license plate states no funds can go to any organization that is involved with abortion in any way. You can read the bill at our web site www.choose-life.org. Go to the "About Us" tab and click "Bill". Russ Amerling National Publicity Coordinator Choose Life, Inc.

The Kansas Legislature passed choose life plates only to have it vetoed by our pro-death Gov. Graves. He does have an appropriate last name though.

Thats unfortunate. Here in Florida, the governor has no say(I believe). The plates are approved with signatures and cancelled if interest dwindles.
