Choose Life License Plates are "Anti"

Pro-Life Blogs points out a Houston Chronicle article which describes new Tennessee "Choose Life" license plates as anti-abortion.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - Tennessee's anti-abortion "Choose Life" license plates could hit the streets within three months now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal.

Production of the plates can begin once the state attorney general gives the go-ahead and minor design changes are made to the specialty plate, Department of Safety spokeswoman Julie Oaks said last week.

So what is it about the words "choose life" that's "anti"? Pro-Life Blogs says this about the article:

The plates don't mention abortion, nor do they make a negative statement. Instead, the message they present is a positive encouragement, a choice for life. I know this nothing new, but why not just state, "Choose-Life License Plates ready to roll in Tennessee" ?

It appears the writer of this AP article takes offense to the choose life license plates and so describes them as "anti-abortion."  Only a person with a pro-abortion political agenda would find the words choose life to be a threat.

Here in Ohio, we have license plates that say "Choose Life" along the bottom with the words "Adoption builds a family" on the left side of the plate; in fact, I have them on my SUV. I must be an anathema to the left: a pro-lifer who drives a gas guzzler.
