Passive abortion is an old story... lots of women have done crap like that to force a miscarriage.  Sad but true.  Self destruction knows no bounds.

You'd think by the third time she'd be drunk.

Pregnant driver caught 4 times the limit
ABC - January 6, 2009, 8:09 pm

A heavily pregnant woman Darwin woman has pleaded guilty to drink driving at more than four times the legal limit, not wearing her seatbelt and driving unlicensed.

Amber Jade Mills, 23, was stopped on Mitchell Street about 4:50am ACST last November when police saw her swerving, beeping the horn and parking across two spaces.

She later blew a blood alcohol reading of 0.226.

Magistrate Dick Wallace says it is her third drink driving offence.

She is being assessed for home detention and will appear in court again later this month.

I think they actually call it "drink driving" over there as opposed to "drunk driving" over here.

Yes, they do call it drink-driving - the first mistake will come from someone copy and pasting from word when in review mode where someone has changed woman to Darwin woman, and woman was struck out, then pasting it to their CMS and not seen that it has taken the before and after text.

Happened all the time on the estore I used to help manage when people would send product blurbs off to get reviewed, they would come back and they would forget to accept changes before C&Ping... Oops.

Drunk implies the drink has been consumed.

Hear about the guy who killed his baby son to avoid paying child support? (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,475765,00.html)
I have a 1 year old son and I can't even conceive of doing that over $4k, or for any reason... or for any collection of reasons. Not a lot makes my skin crawl like hearing about that does.

Cuz the person is driving ... drunk. Drunk driving. As in if I was driving while sleepy, I'd call it sleepy driving, not sleep driving.

It's called different things different places here, too, though.  Depending on what state you're in the law can call it DUI or DWI or a couple other things I'm not remembering right now.

No no....it was originally DWI, because the law recognized intoxication separately from being under the influence of drugs. In the 80s (I think), it became DUI to umbrella all substances, but some states or counties are still backward and use DWI. It's kinda the same thing with the military. The Army's still fuddy-duddy and calls an unexcused absence AWOL, which doesn't cover everything. UA does.
