A pregnant woman ticketed for driving in a high-occupancy vehicle lane in Texas says her fetus should count as a second passenger, citing the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

Brandy Bottone of Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, was driving in the HOV lane on U.S. Hwy. 75 on June 29 when she was pulled over after passing a Dallas County Sheriff Department's checkpoint targeting those driving in the lane alone, the Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

If she and the "fetus" were murdered it would count as killing two people so why not?

Just make the rule 2+ adults, or persons over the age of 15, or licensed drivers, since the purpose of the rule is to take cars off the road.

They are encapsulated in one body. Don't be too upset at this revelation of common sense.

Well OK, maybe no ticket for using the HOV lane, would she be happier with a ticket for not having her unborn properly secured. Under age 5, it's supposed to be in a car seat.
