Choose Life license plate moving through legislative process

On March 5, the Michigan Senate Transportation Committee reported out SB 84 authorizing a Choose Life fundraising license plate by a vote of 4-1.  The license plate would raise funds for organizations that submit grant proposals for specific abortion prevention projects. The bill stipulates that the funds will be used to promote alternatives to abortion, including adoption, provide practical support to pregnant women, and conduct outreach to at-risk populations regarding positive pregnancy option.

The legislation now moves to the full senate. 

"The overarching goal it to make sure that we've got life-affirming policies and resources put in place for mothers that are finding themselves in not ideal situations," sponsoring Sen. Patrick Colbeck, R-Canton, said after a 4-1 vote in the Senate Transportation Committee.

"..It actually provides those services, and support services necessary to support women who've made the choice to go off and support life."
