This person would still probably be texting while driving even if she was sterile from birth. She would still be a danger to others.

Less access to reliable birth control does mean more child neglect and endangerment. But access to it would not have made this person any less dangerous. Birth control would be utterly tangential to this story.

Was she drinking an Appletini too? nt MrScorpio Apr 2012 #1
