I don't think the government can have it both ways. From CNN comes the story:
"PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Fetuses do not count as passengers when it comes to determining who may drive in the carpool lane, a judge has ruled.
Candace Dickinson was fined $367 for improper use of a carpool lane, but contended her unborn child qualified to use the lane. Motorists who use the lanes normally must carry at least one passenger during weekday rush hours."
But if this is the case, then the Phoenix city officials are arguing that the fetus is not a viable human being, but the right-wingnuts in this country would argue that a fetus is a human being from the moment it is conceived. Does this mean that they are conceding a woman's right to an abortion? Hmmm - it makes you think!
