https://themessenger.com/news/pregnant-texans-pulled-over-carpool-lane-abortion-ruling Officials in Texas continue to ticket pregnant women for driving in the carpool lanes, despite the state's stance on abortion that grants unborn children the rights of people.
The pushback comes in response to the state's abortion ban, which prohibits abortions after detection of a fetal heartbeat.
A Texas woman, who did not wish to be named, told the Daily Mail she was alone in her car while pregnant and driving in a carpool lane, which is reserved for vehicles with two or more passengers, when she was ticketed. She protested the ticket, and is not the first pregnant woman to challenge the state's apparent hypocrisy.
Another woman, who only identified herself as Jacqueline, told the outlet she was pulled over in late June while pregnant and driving in the carpool lane.
When the officer asked if she had two people in the car, she said yes.

You're confused. They're determining the woman isn't a person, not the fetus. And that's entirely consistent with Texas law.

>>1246353 texas law gives a fetus the legal protections of an autonomous human being, separate entirely from the mother carrying it.
ergo, two occupants.
the mothers are, within texas's legal perspective, able to use carpool/hov lanes

a fetus is a 2nd person, but it rides inside the mom(or dad) and so counts as one rider,
