A pregnant Texas woman who was ticketed for driving in the HOV lane is
arguing that Roe v. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court means that
she should not have been cited because her fetus counted as a passenger.
Brandy Bottone was driving down Central Expressway in Dallas late last month
when she was stopped by a sheriff’s deputy at an HOV checkpoint to see
whether there were at least two occupants per vehicle as mandated. When the
sheriff looked around her car, she recounted to KXAS, he asked: “Is it just
you?”
"And I said, 'No, there's two of us,'" Bottone said. "And he said, 'Well,
where's the other person?'"
Bottone, who was 34 weeks pregnant at the time, pointed to her stomach. Even
though she said her “baby girl is right here,” Bottone said, one of the
deputies she encountered on June 29 told her it had to be “two people
outside of the body,” according to the Dallas Morning News, the first to
report the story. While the state’s penal code recognizes a fetus as a
person, the Texas Transportation Code does not.
“One officer kind of brushed me off when I mentioned this is a living child
, according to everything that’s going on with the overturning of Roe v.
Wade. ‘So I don’t know why you’re not seeing that,’ I said,” she told
the newspaper.
Bottone was issued a $215 ticket for driving alone in the two-or-more
occupant lane — a citation she told local media she’d be challenging in
court this month.
"I will be fighting it," she told the Morning News.
While the Texas Department of Transportation has not indicated whether it is
weighing changing the transportation code, Bottone’s case is one that
could move the state into “unchartered territory” following the June 24
ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, said Chad Ruback, a
Dallas-based appellate attorney.
"I find her argument creative, but I don't believe based on the current
itineration of Texas Transportation Code that her argument would likely
succeed in front of an appellate court," he said. "That being said, it's
entirely possible she could find a trial court judge who would award her for
her creativity."
Ruback added: “This is a very unique situation in American jurisprudence.”
Bottone, 32, of Plano, Texas, did not immediately respond to a request for
comment. It’s unclear whether she has an attorney. Representatives for the
Dallas County Sheriff’s Department and Texas Department of Transportation
did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Bottone told the Morning News that she had been in a rush to pick up her son
and decided to drive in the HOV lane since she “couldn’t be a minute late
.”
Bottone said that while one of the deputies told her that the ticket would
likely get dropped if she fought it, she was upset that the citation was
issued in the first place, according to the Morning News.
"This has my blood boiling. How could this be fair? According to the new law
, this is a life," she said. "I know this may fall on deaf ears, but as a
woman, this was shocking."
Bottone maintained to KXAS that she hoped the Texas laws would be consistent
on how unborn children are recognized.
"I really don't think it's right because one law is saying it one way but
another law is saying it another way," she said.
She’s due in court on July 20, around the same time her daughter is due.
