[i]HB 1894 High-occupancy vehicle lanes; pregnant women.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
High-occupancy vehicle lanes; pregnant women. Provides that a pregnant woman shall be considered two people for the purposes of determining occupancy in HOV and HOT lanes, provided that she has proof of pregnancy or, if traveling in a lane monitored by a photo-enforcement system, has certified the pregnancy with the Department of Transportation. The bill requires the Department to establish a process whereby a pregnant woman can certify that she is pregnant and have such information linked to her toll collection device, commonly known as an E-ZPass. The bill creates protections for such data.[/i]

Yes, GOP. Let's establish the personhood of the fetus. Go on. Do it. Dooooo it. Do it without thinking about the consequences.

You establish a fetus as a person for the purpose of traveling in the HOV lanes and you've set the precedence to establish personhood for other purposes - tax breaks, assistance benefits, insurance purposes, etc.   [/quote]
