Kaine Signs Bill Creating 'Choose Life' License Plates

Gov. Tim Kaine has signed legislation that would create a "Choose Life" license plate in Virginia.

With Kaine's signature Monday, Virginia joins 23 other states that offer the plate -- some after lengthy court battles.

Republican Sen. Kenneth Cuccinelli attached the proposal onto a bill that also adds plates honoring the Washington Capitals, the Blue Ridge Parkway and others to the 200 specialty plates the Department of Motor Vehicles already offers.

Under law, more than 350 people must sign up for a plate before DMV can produce it. Cuccinelli said 450 people have prepaid for the plate.

After the first 1,000 plates are sold, $15 of the $25 fee would go to crisis pregnancy centers.

1. How is this not "establishment of religion"?

How is this not a bow to the radical fundy right?

7. No religion is endorsed, nor is religion endorsed over irreligion.

5. Had the very same thought!

Why not an "choose life - end war" plate?

4. Is "crisis pregnancy center" a euphemism?

I'm guessing we're not talking about places which will give pregnant women impartial advice and a full range of suitable services.
