My sister who is eight months pregnant got a ticket for riding in the HOV lane in Houston, how the frick does that make any sense?

… when Texas has a law that makes abortion legal because you are “murdering a human being”, however, I guess the human being doesn’t count as a human being if you’re riding in the HOV lane

I personally never thought we would see it but the plight of the pregnant woman.

Agree, it either is or isn’t as far as the laws are concerned. I seem to remember a similar case in Dallas a few years back but I don’t remember how it was resolved.

the human being does count as a human being but unfortunately for your sister, the additional human being was not in a passenger seat

Was the baby taking up an additional seat? Because High Occupancy Vehicle lanes are about maximizing vehicle seating capacity.

Your "gotcha" is stupid.

Does your sister insist on buying two tickets to events?

does she pay for two movie tickets if she goes to the movies right now?

two plane tickets?

two Costco memberships?


what a stupid way to try to make a point about abortion, unless you're just trolling in which case, not bad.

That's because her unborn baby wouldn't be driving his/her own car otherwise. The goal is to get cars off the road.

Yeah the HOV lanes really help out from all the congestion created by children driving around. Imagine if all those children rode in the cars of their parents how much better traffic would be

That little fetal free loader ain’t cheating HCTRA out of a dime damnit. When it costs money, just a clump of cells. Mama gotta pay.

Wow, this is a really dumb and ignorant post comparing things that are not comparable to each other in any way, shape or form.

Legal or not it’s a dick move by the cop.

Collect and serve I guess.
