Texas Senators voted 22-9 to okay SB 1098 -- license plates with a "Choose Life" message on them. The message is intended to promote adoption as an alternative to abortion, and Governor Rick Perry said it was one of his "top" legislative priorities this session.

State Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman, is carrying the House version. But HB 109 is still awaiting a vote in the House Transportation Committee. If it reaches the floor, the Free Market Foundation, a group supporting the bill, says 82 of 150 House members have pledged their support.

I appreciate the government carefully choosing which political messages that will be allowed our plates. I'll look forward to Perry's other approved messages: "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," and "Ignorance is Strength."
