Connecticut Pulls Choose Life Plate, Atty General Targets Pro-Life Group

Hartford, CT (LifeNews.com) — The state of Connecticut has stopped sales of the Choose Life license plate there after Attorney General Richard Blumenthal wrote the state department of motor vehicles and claimed the pro-life group that sponsored the plates was not eligible to promote them there.

The Connecticut motor vehicle department said it would stop issuing the plates on Bluemnthal’s recommendation while it investigates whether the Children First Foundation qualifies to have the specialty plate.

The group qualified for the plates in 2003 but Blumenthal and a Democratic state legislator say the New York-based organization doesn’t do enough in Connecticut to warrant giving them the opportunity to sponsor the Choose Life plates.

Blumenthal, in a letter to DMV Commissioner Ralph Carpenter, said the Children First Foundation has “negligible, if any, `operations’ in Connecticut, much less a base of operations in this state.”

Elizabeth Rex, the president of the Children First Foundation, who lives in New York, told the Hartford Courant newspaper she was surprised by the news and said Blumenthal never notified her that there were any problems.

She pointed to several letters from Connecticut lawmakers who said her group had done good work in the state promoting adoption over the years. The Courant said the letters came from pro-abortion Sen. Joe Lieberman, Govs. John Rowland and Jodi Rell, and even Blumenthal himself.
