Search Results: asked her how many children

Texas doesn't think so:

"I was driving to pick up my son. I knew I couldn't be a minute late, so I took the HOV lane," Bettone told Lieber. "As I exited the HOV, there was a checkpoint at the end of the exit. I slammed on my brakes and I was pulled over by police."

Bettone said officers asked her if there were any more occupants inside her vehicle. Pregnant with a daughter, Bettone told the officers her unborn child was inside the vehicle with her, according to Lieber.

"I pointed to my stomach and said, 'My baby girl is right here. She is a person,'" Bettone said. However the officers were not buying it. "He said, 'Oh, no. It's got to be two people outside of the body.'"

Bettone spoke with multiple officers over the course of her encounter, she told Lieber. One seemed indifferent, Bettone claimed, while another gave her a citation and told her to challenge it in court to have it thrown out.

"One 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," Bettone explained. "He was like, 'I don't want to deal with this... Ma'am, it means two persons outside of the body."

"Bettone ended up receiving a $215 citation and instructions from the issuing officer suggesting that if she fought it, it would most likely get dropped."

For anyone who doesn't know the carpool or 'hov lane' on our highways is only allowed to be used by drivers with two or more passengers. you get cited if you get caught using it by yourself.

So here is a bit of clarity on this question...

I was on a dating website, I have always put on my bio "please no single mothers". Which I think is perfectly fine. The reason for my preference is because I have relationship & courtship in the past with single mothers and it was messy. Another reason is I am selfish. If you go into a relationship to give than you should give it openly and equally. To me dating single parents means you will always be at the bottom of their list (which is natural). Plus I want my own children & most don't want more so I think it is unfair to sacrifice what I want for someone who doesn't. So there are my reasons...

Not exactly I said anything racist or disgusting as it is my preference. Yet I had several angry messages from many angry women saying I was "disrespectful" and "mean".

Yet I am sure women who put the same thing but say dad's. They don't get half the problems.

So why are you single mom's get upset about it?

Respectful answers please no snowflake or butt hurt answers. I have asked a reasonable question so I expect a reasonable answer.

An interesting MHO that I came across while on GAG

"I can't speak for every guy but I'd say a woman's RMV (relationship market value) is cut in half once she has a child with another man.

I always like to say that a single mom to a man is about attractive as a homeless guy is to a woman. And if women would listen rather than just reacting with anger they'd understand why!

A homeless guy is a gamble! He might be a good guy but something put him in that position. Same as a single mom. She's a gamble. Something put her in that position. And here's where women will make excuses such as He left her, he knocked her up and dumped her. He was abusive. Etc. What do all these cases have in common? HER. She CHOSE this "wonderful" man. In short if a woman is a single mom, it's indicative of her judgement. Why would a guy want to be with a woman who makes bad choices? Would a woman want to be with a guy who makes bad judgements? No!

To make things worse most guys are smart enough to realize in many of those cases the biological father is never out of the picture. How would you women feel about a guys ex always being in the picture... yeah I thought so!

And I haven't even mentioned the financial aspect. It has been estimated that each child is a cost of 160,000 USD (Let's not quibble on the number).

The point is if she had 3 kids you're already in the hole for a half million. Now ask each woman if they want to take a half million dollar gamble on a guy they choose. I rest my case!

Sorry ladies make good choices and save yourself this problem. Single moms, you made your nest... sorry you have to lie in it."
