Republican lawmakers in Texas have once again introduced a bill that tries to shove fetal personhood into carpool lane regulations. This time, however, the bill passed the House after an amendment from Democrats to include all mothers, whether their children are in the car or not. The dangerous proposal that could further entrench the idea of personhood into state law now goes to the Senate for consideration.
I did logistics to and from MIA in my late teens and early twenties. And the proletariat route was often (when I say often, I mean 95%) many times faster when it was >$16. I witnessed idiots running over the little white poles that separate the lanes, to join us.
