New bill allowing pregnant women to drive in the HOV lane sparks controversy

A newly proposed bill in the Arizona House of Representatives would allow pregnant women to drive in the HOV lane. But the bill is causing controversy because of the broader message it sends about abortion. On the surface, House Bill 2417 is straightforward. Matt Gress (Republican, 4th District), who introduced it, says it will give pregnant women the right to use the HOV lane without another passenger in the vehicle.
