Texas woman argues unborn baby counts as passenger after fine

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62124366

A woman in Texas has argued that her unborn baby should count as a passenger after she was fined for driving in a high-occupancy lane.
Brandy Bottone, 32, was given the $275 (£231) ticket on 29 June after she was stopped by police in the US state.
She then argued that, given the overturning of the constitutional right to an abortion by the Supreme Court, her unborn child counted as a person.
Ms Bottone, who is 34 weeks pregnant, plans to contest the fine in court.

The officer, however, reportedly said that the lane required two people "outside the body" and issued her the fine.

This should be interesting
