LINCOLN — Nebraskans can now have a “My Body, My Choice” license plate on their cars.

Planned Parenthood of the Heartland unveiled the new blue and pink license plate on Thursday and announced that it was available to the public.

This week the organization submitted enough applications to surpass the state’s requirement for an organization to request a specialty license plate; the state requires 250 applications, and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland said it submitted 263 applications.

The plates are listed on the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles’ website now, but DMV Director Rhonda Lahm said it will take a couple of weeks to print the plates. The plate will cost an extra $70.

Meg Mikolajczyk, associate general counsel and senior public affairs manager for Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, said in a press release that the plates are an opportunity for people to voice their own opinion on women’s health issues.

“After all, the majority of Nebraskans and Americans overall believe that a woman should maintain her right to reproductive choice as established under Roe v. Wade,” she said.
