Well, I guess she has a point -- Pregnant Texas woman stopped for driving solo in HOV told police ...

[pknopp]

The point is that declaring the fetus to be a person opens up a huge can of worms.

Such as?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

And? How does that make my other point invalid? Seems like a great way to show it's a life. Why do you have a problem with this?

I don't have a problem with it, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy. Cripes you're stupid

 

[Rogue AI]

Funny, I thought the carpool lane rewarded the climate friendly crowd and now liberals are against it. Unhinged doesn't even begin to explain them anymore.

If someone wants to agree with me over something they might not in other cases, why would I want to call them a hypocrite? I'd be happy to have them on my side.

Such as any laws that refer to persons. Like, you know, almost all of them.

Because the SC didn't rule on whether the baby is a life or not. they ruled that there is no constitutional protection for abortion.

Well sure if you don't believe it is, I wasn't addressing those.

The SC can't over rule basic scientific 101 facts. You think it's a rock or something?

I don't follow. I said the fetus=person thing would cause a lot of problems, you ask for some. I obliged. What are YOU addressing?

 

[pknopp]

If you don't believe it a seperate life, you would support the cops not buying her excuse. OK. I don't really want to argue that again. I was just curious as to why someone that does believe it is, would be upset because someone you might not expect to believe that, side with you on the subject.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

What do you think it’s all about?

It's about encouraging people to car pool in order to save energy. That's not what this woman was doing.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Does the baby on the womb not qualify as "people" in your view?

The baby does not qualify as a passenger in the vehicle.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Good for her. Let the Supreme Court Decide [I'm sure Alito and Thomas won't support this women do to both being misogynists].

The SC would never hear the case. Laugh at it? Perhaps, but not hear it.

 

[Slade3200]

It's about encouraging people to car pool in order to save energy. That's not what this woman was doing.

In that case people with passengers that aren’t licensed drivers, like children, should not qualify to use the carpool lane. Is that the case you’re trying to make?

 

[Orangecat]

A pregnant Texas woman used the reversal of Roe v Wade to argue she should be allowed to drive in a car-pool lane, since the baby she was carrying “is a life.”

She's an idiot, because the reversal of RvW has nothing to do with whether a fetus is another person or not.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

In that case people with passengers that aren’t licensed drivers, like children, should not qualify to use the carpool lane. Is that the case you’re trying to make?

Not sure, never studied the law. We don't have that stupidity here in Ohio. But in my state, if you kill a pregnant woman, you are charged with 2 murders. If Texas has that law, she may be able to make a case that way.

but but BUT ...

Is that you, stutterin' Joe?

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

The SC can't over rule basic scientific 101 facts. You think it's a rock or something?

All the SC rules on is if law was followed or constitutional issues. If the SC ruled that a baby is a human being, then all abortions would be considered murder.

I'm not upset. Just confused about what you're getting at. Maybe it's me.

It's a scientific fact it's a life. The Supreme Court would look pretty silly denying a simple scientific fact.
