Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The 2010 Legislative "short session" is under way and anti-choice lawmakers and activists feel they are gaining momentum to push their agenda for "Choose Life" license plates in North Carolina!

In fact, a rally is being held NEXT WEEK in Raleigh where anti-choice forces are mounting pressure on lawmakers to pass their "Choose Life" License Plates bill which would essentially create a state sanctioned funding stream to organizations that give pregnant women biased or even deceptive counseling on their reproductive options.

What is a "Choose Life" License Plate?

  • These license plates are specialty plates that would bear an anti-choice message. Individuals who wish to purchase the plate would pay a fee above the cost of a standard license plate.
  • The revenue generated from the sale would then be funneled to non-profit, anti-choice organizations, including so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that promise comprehensive medical advice and services but deliver anti-choice propaganda. Any organization that mentions abortion as a neutral option - including counseling or referrals - is specifically prohibited from receiving any of the funds.

Act now to tell your legislator to vote NO on "Choose Life" License Plates and ensure that this bill never makes it to the House and Senate Floors!
