Bias at DMV in Virginia

The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles has a specialized license plate that is bright yellow and reads ‘Choose Life.’ As a pro choicer, this angers me everytime I see it because the DMV is a government-funded organization and they are certainly showing their bias through this plate. This would not be the case if pro choicers, like me, were given the option to buy a specialized pro choice plates, or there were no plates about abortion at all, but this is not the case. I was wondering what feminists could do for this issue because honestly I do not know where to begin. I’m not sure where I should write a letter to or protest at that would be effective. I think it is completely absurd that this is thought of as alright because it’s sexist, hateful, and insulting.

Please help!
