#4Roe v. Wade didn't protect abortions at 34 weeks already. And if the kid's a passenger, it needs to be in a child safety seat.

#5People who want to ban or limit abortion through the criminal code by definition give police more power not less.

That’s not necessarily the case because if a foetus is legally a person, then they gain rights they wouldn’t otherwise have.

#7I have always felt it should be 'Two or more LICENSED persons per vehicle". The idea is to remove cars from the road for the HOV lanes. Kiddie poolers are not removing cars, they are just giving them VIP access. Remove extra drivers by sharing is the intent. Make it so!

Any car with more than one person in the vehicle should have VIP access. That's at least twice as efficient use of space and natural resources as one person in a 2-ton SUV driving to work or wherever.

Taxis (including Uber/Lyft) are worse IMO. In the bay area, many schools do not have school buses, then maybe we should invest more in school buses to reduce cars on the road (HOV lane or not). At big companies which have buses to shuttle employees to the office, many parents cannot use them because they have to stop at a school, etc.

Case to consider: Taxi, Uber, Lyft, etc? Those have 2 people, but only 1 person is really traveling to the destination most of the time.
