The Orlando, Florida NOW chapter is running a “Pro-Choice License Plate Contest.” From the website:
LicenseToChoose.org is the website representing a committed group of individuals focusing our efforts on the design and application for a Pro-Choice specialty license plate for Florida vehicles.
The idea was an outgrowth of the Orlando Florida Chapter of the National Organization for Women. We felt that Pro-Choice motorists are currently denied the opportunity to express their views on a government issued, specialty license plate.
Currently, Floridians have about 100 different automobile license plate designs from which to choose, and each one purchased contributes to it’s specific cause. There are specialty plates for sports teams, colleges, manatees, and there’s one that says “Choose Life”. The funds raised from sales of these “Choose Life” license plates are specifically prohibited from going to agencies that even refer to termination as an option to an unwanted pregnancy. The intent of our Pro-Choice License plate will be to fund agencies and organizations that provide information on all reproductive choices.
According to the State of Florida, more that 60,000 Choose Life plate are on the road having raised nearly $4,000,000. Sales and renewals add about $70,000.00 every month.
