Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship
Serving Pregnancy Care Ministries
in North Carolina
Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship (CPCF) is a statewide, 501(c)3 nonprofit, pro-life organization committed to offering help and encouragement to those God calls into pregnancy care ministry, especially those located in North Carolina.
The Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship is the official state contact for Choose Life, Inc., the national organization devoted to getting the Choose Life license plates on the road in all fifty states.
Organized in 1987 by a small group of pregnancy center directors who recognized the need for education, encouragement and networking among pregnancy centers, adoption agencies and maternity homes, CPCF now includes approximately eighty pregnancy care ministries in North Carolina.
Board members are current or former directors of pregnancy care related ministries. They volunteer their time to attend strategic planning meetings and plan retreats for paid staff and volunteers across the state.

Although North Carolina has over 130 specialty license plates, our state does not yet have the Choose Life plate. This website gives all the information you need to help make this a reality in North Carolina.
Goals of the Choose Life license plate:
We are very enthusiastic about the prospect of a Choose Life license plate in North Carolina because it will:
- Promote adoption, and other compassionate alternatives to abortion.
- Raise funds to assist women experiencing a crisis pregnancy. (The House and Senate Bill introduced this year specifies the additional cost to be $25 with $15 going to the Pregnancy Care Centers. The state receives the rest for production expenses). The Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship is a 501(c)(3) organization.
The Choose Life plates are already on the road or approved in 24 states; 480,000 plates have been sold or renewed; and over $10.3 million has been raised to help pregnant women!
Why not North Carolina?
The North Carolina Legislature must pass a bill to create the Choose Life license plate. We need your help to build grass roots support. Check out the tabs to the left to learn more. The content and current status of the North Carolina bill can be located by going to the following website
http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/gascripts/BillLookUp/BillLookUp.pl
(Please note that license plate bills are not subject to the General Assembly's "crossover deadline" of passing either the House or Senate by May 14, 2009. According to these rules, Finance bills are eligible for consideration for the rest of this (long) session and through the short session in 2010. The progress and timing of plate bills is public information and this is not new ).

Currently North Carolina residents proudly display over 130 specialty plates. We need your help to make the Choose Life license plate a reality. Your signature on the Choose Life petition will show our legislators that there is support for the Choose Life message in North Carolina, and that the bill should be brought to a vote as required for each new tag.
