License Plates Speak Out
Posted by Michelle Moquin on March 27th, 2009
NARAL an organization for pro-choice, are calling on Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, who also serves as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, to veto legislation that would funnel thousands of dollars to fake clinics that discourage women from choosing legal abortion.
Yes the pro lifers are at it again and there seems to be no end to their fight to take away our right to choose. By opposing this measure, Gov. Kaine will uphold the strong pro-choice platform the Democratic Party adopted last August and stop an anti-choice bill from becoming law in his state. Gov. Kaine rejected the “abstinence-only” funding. Now he needs to step up and do the right thing again.
So how are these pro-lifers pushing their morals on us? By making sure Bill SB817 passes. This bill authorizes the creation of special license plates bearing “Choose Life.” A portion of the funds from the sale of these plates would be distributed to these fake “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) in Virginia. Why are theses clinics considered ‘fake’? Because their real agenda is not pro-choice but to push pro-life.
For years, the anti-choice movement has tried to restrict, control, and manipulate the information doctors give women facing unplanned pregnancies. Unable to shut down legitimate public-health clinics, they are instead building a network of CPCs across the country.
And they are having a huge impact. Women who walk into their clinic hoping to get support are not getting the support they are seeking. Harassment is dosed out by intimidating and emotionally manipulative tactics to block women from learning the facts about, or choosing, legal abortion.
Some of these organizations even give women medically inaccurate information about abortion, claiming the procedure is dangerous and can cause breast cancer, infertility, and mental illness. Lies, lies, lies. Women leave the clinics, shocked, angry and scared.
So what harm could a few license plates do? Don’t think that small things can’t have a big impact. – These license plates have the potential to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for these organizations. Florida’s DMV reports that, in that state, the “Choose Life” license plate generates over $65,000 a month for CPCs!
Now is the time to take action. Again, it only takes a minute. Thanks for all that you do. :)
