I want to congratulate fellow Floridians for making this one of the fastest selling tags ever!

Also, note that Planned Parenthood has the nerve to claim they can't be denied proceeds from the sale of the tag. They will lose, as they have lost the other law suits as well(and for people who didn't have faith in Nikki Clark back during the election lawsuits, it seems as if she has proven she is fair).

Keep up the good work, Floridians!

Placing the special "life tag" on a vehicle will bring out the nutballs. I had a bumper sticker for a conservative GOP candidate on my vehicle and some of the reaction to it was vulgar and aggressive. Young females took it upon themselves to flip the bird and scream vulgar things while I was sitting at red lights. My candidate won. The office won was in no way affililated with abortion decision making on laws in Pennsylvania. The waving of coathanger out the window from a female in a Volvo was interesting. I ignored her wild ranting and coathanger waving. The plate will probably be defaced and cause problems for the driver. We shall see how it goes for the Floridians that place the life tags on their vehicles. I wish them well.

As a great philosopher says on his daily radio broadcast, "Words mean things". The writer of the newspaper article used "pro-choice" rather than "pro-abortion" in describing the the pro-abortion group. "Anti-abortion" was used rather than "pro-life" to describe the pro-life group.

What the writer, and pro-abortion groups, fail to grasp is that "Choose Life" is one of the two choices an expectant mother can make. Choosing life is inherently "pro-choice" - but not the way the pro-abortion groups would have it.

I've watched as journalists over the past 6-7 years increasingly drop "Pro-Life" - substituting "Anti-Abortion". It has a subliminal negative sound to it, where "Pro-Life" has a more positive connotation (which most journalists are reluctant to allow).

Am I splitting hairs? Too sensitive? Mebbe so. But I agree with the great philosopher who is on the cutting edge of societal evolution: "Words mean things".

I had a gruesome picture in my mind as to what a pro-abotion tag would look like, if liberals got their way.

Too bad tax payers can't choose to send their Planned Parenthood dollars to a different organization . . .

I think the high dollars for this tag illustrates, on yet another issue, that a lot more people are pro-life than the evening news is willing to admit.

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.

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.

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.
