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.

On the other hand, a "Choose Life" message brings out the good in people too. I have a eurotag with that message on the front of my Jeep--as well as a couple pro-life stickers on the back bumper. I've had many people compliment me on them, and one woman (with Gore and other Dem stickers on her vehicle) actually asked me where she could acquire a similar tag for herself. I saw her car in traffic months later, and I noticed that she had indeed added the pro-life message to her many Demodeath promotions.

We have had our "Choose Life" tag on for about a year and the response from other folks has been positive.

I have heard of no reported incidences concerning the tags. I see dozens of people every day - mostly familes - with them on their vehicles. Most "nutballs" here in Tally don't venture too far from one of the campuses, and probably think of most of the town as "rednecks" and "hillbillies". The leftist man-hater crowd doesn't have the guts to mess with the yocals.

With enough signatures, you can get almost anything placed on a tag here in Florida(the key words being enough signatures). There is probably a specialty tag that almost everyone could find that they like. A proceed to goes to an individual cause, which really pleases residents. And as the article says, after so many years, if interest dies in the tag, they eliminate it. This is one thing(tags) that Florida has done well over the past 10-20 years.

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!

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
