I guess I was surprised by the number of snowflakes on this string. Better we politely reinforce norms of civility ourselves than rely on the state to intrude.

I am against anyone without a sticker using a handicap parking space (if someone is obviously disabled and is awaiting a tag, I would not balk). That is illegal. You don’t get a tag without a doctor’s certificate of NEED. Just because someone is not in a wheelchair or using an assistive device, does mean they don’t need a handicap spot. There are people with lung conditions, heart conditions, or endurance deficits that may look, to you, perfectly fine, but they aren’t. Try a little compassion, or at least empathy. You never know what private hell someone else is going through.

Neither of us is the arbiter of anything. I don’t presume to judge your faith, I will thank you for the same consideration. Your OPINION of this subject, the reproduction of others and me, personally, is no more important than my own. It affects your life-and the lives of this woman and her child-not at all. People will do what they will-and others WILL have opinions of them(good and bad)-on this board and in daily life. Perhaps you prefer a homogenous silence. We are done in any case.Happy Thanksgiving.
