Pennsylvania is latest state to approve 'Choose Life' license plates

Published: 2007-03-08

PHILADELPHIA (CNS) -- Pennsylvania has become the latest state to approve the use of a "Choose Life" specialty license plate. The plates were approved last November and became available for purchase in January. The cost per plate is $40. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation receives $20, and the other $20 is an annual membership fee in Pennsylvania Choose Life. Every year, when people renew their registration, they will receive a reminder from the pro-life organization to renew their annual $20 membership. Pennsylvania Choose Life will administer the funds it collects, using the money to support women in crisis pregnancies. Money collected in each county is to go to "crisis pregnancy centers located in those counties," said Mary Wurtz, the organization's administrator.
