When a cop gives you a ticket, it's not really a happy occasion, nor is he really someone you want to see again, even if you were eventually cleared of the charge. Janene Bull used to think so too. A year ago, she was given a ticket for driving with a suspended license by officer Chris Paey. Bull had recently moved to the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania from Buffalo, New York, and the reinstatement of her license had not yet made it into the official records.
That was then; this is now. Fast forward a year and Bull is two weeks overdue for the birth of her son. She started having symptoms -- wobbly legs, achy thighs, a tightening in the bottom of her stomach -- and called 911. A police officer was dispatched and it turned out to be the same one who had given her a ticket a year ago. "I asked him when the ambulance was coming and he said, 'Janene it's five to seven minutes away,'" Bull recalled. "I said 'Chris, I don't have five to seven minutes.'"
So he did what any one would do in his situation, he grabbedhis catcher's mitt some towels and delivered the baby with the help of a 911 operator. Little Tyler weighed in at a healthy 8 pounds, 12 ounces. "He was kicking, he was looking good, definitely the miracle of life there," said Paey. Although I'm sure she wouldn't give up her son for anything, I think Ms. Bull will find that another traffic ticket would be much cheaper in the long run. Congratulations to mother and cop!

Jill said...Yes, but if liberals say "look at all the options and choose what best suits you" and conservatives say "do it my way, the only right way", the imbalance increases even more. I see it as inevitable- one side sees millions of shades of gray, one side sees only black and white. More will agree on a set values to promote when there are only two for them to chose among.
