Massachusetts, a state known for its liberal political climate, is about to offer motorists specialty license plates that express opposition to abortion rights.
The new “Choose Life’’ plate, which features an illustration of a woman cradling an infant, becomes one of 18 Massachusetts tags that provide publicity and funding for causes, including breast cancer research, youth hockey, and environmental preservation. They cost drivers $90 every two years.
After the state recoups the cost of producing the “Choose Life’’ plates, the proceeds will go to organizations that encourage women with unwanted pregnancies to consider options other than abortion, such as adoption.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/06/18/antiabortion_message_for_specialty_plates/I know slapping MA around is great sport here, however I was born, raised and am now raising my own family here. The cesspools of Boston and Springfield drive the heavy liberal vote, but the rest of the state is predominantly Catholic and as such, very social conservative.
Gay rights and abortion come to vote at the state level and both will be voted illegal. That is why the state legislature blocked Romney's attempt to put gay marriage on the state ballot.
This license plate will be viral within a year's time. I wonder if our state legislature will even notice.
