Choose Life license plates are specialty license plates available in 27 states in the United States that express a pro-life message. The plates are the concept of Choose Life, Inc., a pro-life advocacy group based in Ocala, Florida. It was founded in 1997 by Randy Harris, a commissioner of Marion County, after he got an idea (when he noticed an environmental plate on the car in front of him, while stuck in traffic) to use specialty license plates as a way to raise funds for promoting adoption over abortion. The plates feature the phrase "Choose Life", a slogan used by the pro-life movement, and a child art-like drawing of two children.
