Wow - you must be a real peach. While it's not a disability, I would gladly allow a heavily pregnant woman the ability to park close to a store for her convenience. I see it as a gesture of goodwill and respect. [/quote]

Um, that’s not how it works. Those aren’t “goodwill and respect” parking spaces. They are reserved for people with disabilities who NEED them. If pregnant people without disabilities take them, then wheelchair users won’t be able to park close to the store.

If a pregnant person has a disability because of the pregnancy, then of course she should be able to get a handicapped spot, just like a non pregnant person would who is suffering from the same pain or injury. But not for goodwill and respect.[/quote]

Why can't there be parking spots for handicap and thens some others that are for pregnant mothers? WTF. And it is a kind gesture to pregnant women who often have other children to look after while they are running errands, etc. [/quote]
