In one state, they wanted to offer "Choose Death" as being the Pro-Choice plate - needless to say, the court didn't find this particularly acceptable.
Dammit, now I want a "Choose Death" license plate!

I'd be willing to concede the Choose Life license plate so long as it's a picture of George Michael's shirt from his Wham days. That way they get their message, but on the chest of a controversial gay man.

Maybe they could do "Wake me up, before you go-go" on a plate as well? It could be celebrating the farmers who get up early.

Does anyone else find it bitingly ironic that the message of the anti-choice side is "Choose Life"?

quite a few of us i'd imagine. though i'm not so sure that those on the pro-life side are aware of this little bit of irony. wonder what their reaction'd be if anyone ever pointed it out to them. . .
