State Police noted the incident in a media release for a saturation patrol conducted throughout Windham County. In an email, Vermont State Police Sgt. Ryan Wood told Local 22 & Local 44 News the pregnant woman was offered treatment, and it was denied by the woman, who was screened for DUI and admitted usage. Wood added no criminal charges were filed, and in such instances, a report is filed with the Department for Children and Families. Troopers say the purpose of the saturation patrol was to focus on speed enforcement, distracted driving and the detection and apprehension of alcohol/drug impaired operators. During the detail, Troopers conducted eight stops, issuing five tickets and seven warnings. Troopers also engaged in a motor vehicle pursuit, resulting in the operator being stopped and arrested on I-91 in Springfield. Vermont State Police would like to remind all motorists to avoid operating under the influence of alcohol/drugs and to always utilize a sober driver. Police note several designated drivers were encountered throughout the evening.

Behold the face of liberalism. An ideology where everyone is a victim except the fetus. Think not? Where is the outrage from Democratic senators and representatives that legislate policy? And if you're naive enough to find this alarming, spend a week at our hospital's ED were overdosing, pregnant, welfare whores are a near daily occurrence. As for me, I'm on board to sign up for Trump's death squads targeting heroin traffickers. Be more exciting than winning the moose lottery!
ReplyDeletewelcome to Vermont,where if you j walk you get a ticket,but shoot up when your pregnant they let you walk free,i thought drugs were illegal in this state,did the tropper let her drive of after ?
ReplyDeleteWe'll I guess you read it the same as I did, I thought I misread this, sounds like they did let her walk free and slap her wrist. They should have locked her up in a drug free environment some how until the baby is born, then let her walk free and give the baby up for adoption. Let her then go destroy her life if she wants to... once pregnant the baby or fetus... the same thing should take precedence....
ReplyDeleteIt's not illegal to use drugs. It's only illegal to possess or sell them. She booted the evidence, and was sitting in a parked car. Not much can be done at that point but offer drug counseling.
ReplyDeletethere must of been some kind o evidence in the car,that made them believe that she was using,a syringe,bag with dope in it,it's against the law to possess that stuff
ReplyDeleteDrug paraphernalia is not against the law to possess in VT.
DeleteShe endangered the life of a helpless child she should have or still be arrested for reckless endangerment of a child. Let go. Come on
ReplyDeleteBecause of the abortion laws the unborn child is not a person.Hundreds of unborn children are killed every day.
ReplyDeleteBecause of abortion laws an unborn child has no rights. The law offers them no protection for unborn children.
ReplyDeleteThe only person who can declare a fetus to be a real person is the pregnant woman. If she chooses not to regard it as such, nobody has the power to emancipate it from her short of extracting it and putting it in a surrogate pregnancy program (which program does not exist, by the way. Nobody else is in a position to protect it from her substance abuse, malnutrition, domestic abuse or nicotine addiction problems. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.
ReplyDeleteAnd if she chooses to remain pregnant and give birth to a malformed or otherwise handicapped child whom she regards as "a little sh*t," the real child is in for an extremely rough childhood, with only a 60% chance of escaping the traps it was born into.
The so-called "pro-life" movement disregards these facts in the exercise of its dysfunctional self-help program.
Chuck Gregory, are you saying the child should be aborted?
ReplyDeleteOf course he is. In his world, with its legal heroin, abortion becomes the only option. The ever downward spiral of cultural deterioration. To be fair, the Republicans are no better. As I see it, the D's will kill the poor in the womb; the R's will wait until you're born, deprive you of healthcare, then work you to death! Tell me which is worse!
DeleteNo, I'm saying that if you want to "rescue" a cystoblast, fetus or embryo, you'd better be prepared to spring for all the costs of a surrogate pregnancy (probably in the range of $160,000) and then take on the costs of raising the resulting child to adulthood, which is about $240,000 to get him/her through high school. Anything short of that is simply fantasizing. Anyone who wants to be a hero for the "unborn" had better be prepared to pay the price.
DeleteSo, Chuck, you're saying "Cough up the money or the kid gets it?" YIKES! I'm sure glad my mother carried me until birth, and then put me up for adoption. (Of course, abortion was illegal back then!) Makes me one happy former cystoblast! I guess there ARE people who aren't soul-less money-grubbers who'd kill an unborn child, just to save money! Hey, I've got an idea; why not just stay off of drugs, exercise some personal responsibility, and care for the life you created! Nah, you're right, Chuck; drug addiction and murder are SO much better! And, by the way, some of us already pay for poor children's expenses from conception to adulthood. It comes out of our paychecks, every week!
DeleteYou don't really care about kids, do you? I once asked a group of so-called "pro-life" demonstrators if they were guardians ad litem in family court, unpaid public school classroom volunteers, adoptive parents, foster parents, Big Brothers or Big Sisters-- and all of them said no, except one guy who was making $270,000 a year and had adopted five.
DeleteThis contrasts with the experience of my parents who raised 11 kids on the 1983 equivalent of $49,400. Their commitment to human life far outweighed that of the demonstrators.
Someone once asked me who in my family I would have wanted aborted. I said, "Me."
I'm sure that Chuck was thoroughly checking the demonstrators W-2's.
DeleteMore fake news.....
I still have the DVD of their responses. You want to see it, I'll show it.
DeleteI'd love to see the video of Chuck inspecting tax returns!
DeleteHey Chuck, it's 1:39 again. Ok, here goes: in 1991, I was a serious substance abuser. My girlfriend had a five-year-old daughter who lived with my girlfriend's parents. One day, she told me she was pregnant. I then gave up alcohol, drugs, and even smoking. I got a job, they both moved in with me, and I supported them. So, I shouldered my responsibility, her responsibility, and the responsibility of raising her daughter, who was a "special needs" kid. I also worked as a substance abuse counselor, and taught school part-time. I donate to a variety of children's charities. How DARE you suggest that I don't care about kids, you self-righteous, baby-killing, dope pushing scumbag! You're the worst enemy a kid has!
DeletePersonal responsibility is a dead concept in Vermont. Have 8 kids and let the government pay for it.
ReplyDeleteRight and then when they become adults pay for them too. It's the vermont way.
DeleteWell, as I said, that IS an alternative to abortion, isn't it? I guess you're one of those "protect the unborn to enslave them later" Republicans!
