License to Live

Below is an email which I received providing an update on the Choose Life License Plate. This is an important and historical opportunity for the State of North Carolina. The Choose Life License Plate will offer those that are prolife the opportunity to make that statement in their community and will also provide much needed funds to help Crisis Pregnancy Centers across the state. If you are in favor of this initiative please read below to see how you can take action to help to assure that this important bill is passed.

The bill for the Choose Life License Plate is now in the finance committee. Planned Parenthood is actively fighting against this initiative. Please be in prayer that it will receive favorable action. We are grateful for Representative Mitch Gillespie, who has introduced the bill for the past five years. In submitting it to the finance committee, Rep. Gillespie amended it to read that the funds would go to Carolinas Pregnancy Care Fellowship, rather than the state, to be disbursed among the Crisis Pregnancy Centers in NC.

In FL, the plates are raising $800,000 annually. NC's population is approximately half of FL's, but there is still potential for a good deal of money to flow into pregnancy ministries with the approval of the plate.
