Letter To The Editor

In response to the column titled “Give pro-life license plates a fair vote,” I can’t seem to wrap my mind around the fact that there is such a huge debate going on about what you are allowed to support on your license plate.

I’ve been stuck behind cars driven by 40-year-old men who have customized license plates that read “#1PIMP,” or “I’d rather be shaggin’.” The concept that a Choose Life license plate may be too controversial is lost on me.

There are more than 130 different ways to express yourself through your plates in North Carolina, so why not add one more?

If the proposal to approve a Choose Life plate is denied, we will be the only state in the Southeast that won’t allow the plate.

North Carolinians preach that abortion is wrong, and that life is the only answer. If we believe so strongly in choosing life, why do we shy away from a plate that stands up for that very thing?

Maybe these folks should quit shaggin’ and start worrying about something with a little more substance.
