WE'RE ONE STEP CLOSER IN THE LONE STAR STATE!A Senate committee has approved a bill allowing Texas to issue "Choose Life" license plates, a measure supported by Gov. Rick Perry and anti-abortion groups.
Approved 6-1 Tuesday by the Health and Human Services Committee, the bill now goes to full Senate for a vote. A similar measure is pending in the House.
Supporters say 19 other states that have the plates on the road have raised more than $10 million for organizations that counsel and support women choosing adoption.
I would love to see pro-life license tags all over Texas!
ReplyDeleteWhere did the "anti-abortion" label come from? Is that from some news story, or from you? If you're going to call pro-life people anti-abortion, then please call pro-choice people anti-life, or pro-abortion.
nope.
ReplyDeleteAbortion is wrong. I'd like to see someone tell me it isn't. If you decide to lay down and have sex, then you need to stand up and raise your child, or give it up for adoption, but killing it is no answer.
ReplyDeleteWill this be followed with "Pro Death Penalty", "Pro-Gun Toting" and "Pro Abstinence" license tags. I mean...if we start with one, let's go ahead and start covering everyone's beliefs and principles.
ReplyDeleteThis was a story I pulled from the associated press. Sorry if it offends. I would've been a bit more sensitive. You know my writing style by now!

I believe in free speech, and if I may be allowed to express my views I agree that abortion is morally wrong, but I don't think it is or ever should be a legal issue. I also don't think these licence plates will serve any purpose whatsoever. If a woman is pregnant and considering an abortion viewing a choose life license plate isn't going to do much good regarding her struggling with her decision. I think whether prolife or prochoice, we all have a goal to reduce the number of abortions. That much we can agree on; that being said, I think we should focus our attention on prevention and frankly this is directed at conservatives who oppose those methods and are strictly for preaching abstinence. In a perfect world, that would be a grand argument, but this is far from a perfect world, and abstinence is simply not a reality in today's society. I think we should promote abstinence but it should never be the end all, be all method we promote with the hopes of reducing abortions because we are fooling ourselves if we think otherwise.
