A pregnant woman in Texas is contesting an HOV lane citation she received last month as she claims her unborn child should as a unique person after a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
A pregnant mother from Plano, Texas is looking to contest a traffic citation she received for driving in a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane, as she claims her unborn child should count as a second passenger.
On June 29, officers pulled over Brandy Bottone, who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time, as they suspected her of being the only person in the vehicle that was driving in the HOV lane, FOX 4 of Dallas reported.
She claimed, however, that her unborn child is a legal person, following a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade.
