The images on the 12 specialty license plates issued in Massachusetts are innocuous. One features a Cape Cod lighthouse, another a sunny drawing of stick-figure children, another a brook trout leaping from the water.
But a Wakefield woman is hoping to create a state license plate that sends a far more controversial message: encouraging pregnant women to choose adoption over abortion.
[...]
But a leader of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts argued that the Registry should not allow Choose Life plates.
"Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts believes that state government should not be sanctioning political messages on license plates," Dianne Luby, the group's president and chief executive, said in a written statement. (Boston Globe)
Once again, what exactly do "pro-choice" advocates have against women choosing adoption?

I think, personally, and I mean this, the anti-choice crowd is scared to death of the MAP (Plan B - Morning After Pill) because if this medication becomes mainstream and easily available, abortion, as an issue, will cease to exist.
1: The numbers of these “abortions” will become impossible to track (which, ironically, always worked in the anti-choice arguments, as there was no way to show what the numbers were prior to RvW because people kept quiet).
2: The alleged detrimental psychological effects will be negated (women won’t ever know if they were even ever pregnant or not).
3: The stigmatizing of abortion providers, pro-choice politicians, and patients will be gone (no target enemy/victim to unite the anti-choice constituency).
4: It's no more "abortion" than taking the Pill regularly. So, to argue that Plan B should not be available is exactly to argue that the Pill should not be available. I wonder how many women (and men) would be okay with that?
I’m tellin’ ya’ - this will be the end of the issue of abortion.
Good riddance.

(ps: There are 40,000 adoptions per year in America. There are well over a million abortions. Get real, you friggin' loony.)

I agree! The Pill often acts as an abortifacient. So pro-lifers that use it should think again.

Huh; don't know what that has to do with the price of bananas, but okay.
