Oppose "Choose Life" License Plates
Dear xxxxxx,
This morning, the House Transportation Committee voted on a package of legislation that included Sen. Cuccinelli's 'Choose Life' License Plate. The bill, SB817, passed by a vote of 15-7. Click here to see how your Delegate voted. This is a disappointing blow to our efforts to defeat this bill, which would generate funds for crisis pregnancy centers around Virginia.
On Monday, the House of Delegates will take a final vote on this legislation and be sure the anti's are making their voices heard. Please take a moment to send your legislator a message letting him or her know that you OPPOSE the sale of 'Choose Life' License Plates.
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s): Your Delegate (if you live in Virginia)
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Please Oppose "Choose Life" License Plates
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
I am writing to ask that you please oppose SB817 based on Sen. Cuccinelli's amendment that would allow for license plates bearing the legend "Choose Life" to be sold in Virginia. The funds raised by the sale of the license plates would go to nongovernmental, non-profit organizations that masquerade as legitimate reproductive health centers.
These organizations, known as Crisis Pregnancy Centers, often pose as comprehensive health clinics that offer a full range of services but in fact offer very little in the way of real health services. In addition, crisis pregnancy centers often present medically inaccurate information as fact. Women who are scared or unsure about their health care options should be given honest, accurate medical information to help them make the best decision possible.
I hope that the Virginia legislature will support legitimate, comprehensive reproductive health clinics, rather than centers whose goals are to prevent women from exercising their judgment to make fully informed decisions.
Please oppose this measure.
Sincerely,
Thou Shalt Have An Abortion
Thou Shalt Have An Abortion
“otherwise, those of us who HAVE had one might feel guilty.”
choose choice? Clearly, they can’t say “choose abortion.”
This is the most telling quote of them all. What funds are they talking about - the funds raised from abortion revenue?
no they have to say choose death, because that’s what it is. then offer it up to the public and see who ends up with more plates on cars!
I agree - let's be fair about this. If we can have our "choose life" plates, they should be able to have their "choose abortion" or "choose death" plates.
“choose choice”
LOL as opposed to not choosing a choice ;)
Yeah, those “evil” crisis pregnancy centers might actually help keep a baby alive. Imagine the gall!
