Grateful for being healthy and able-bodied... I get kind of fed up with the many, usually empty, parking places - I always wonder why the need to park up close, when they do get out and go walking/shopping for 1 hour.

Wouldn’t our grandmothers be amused — the ones who worked the fields with their husbands?

So what happens when you go to Planned Parenthood to get an abortion? Is it free on the way in, but costs money on the way out?
KA-BLAM! Nice one.

Many pioneer women who were pregnant walked over half a continent to get to their new home. Women today are even healthier and stronger by comparison. You would think they could walk 20 feet.

I don’t know if they still have this, but the Toys R Us where I live has special parking for expectant moms. But I always wondered, what about the preggies who were in the early stages and weren’t showing? I can only imagine the dirty looks that they would probably get.

How about the government justing letting business decide how to operate? Companies could park the truly handicapped out in the no ding zones. All they would have to do, would be to pull up and honk. Valets would park for them, free, if they had a customer card.
The handicapped spaces would then go to the "Spenders of the month".

The Westfield Mall here in Palm Desert, CA has set aside spaces for expectant mothers. They also set aside full sized spaces for motorcycles. Now, this is a center which frequently has a shortage of parking spaces on the front side of the center. Told my wife, if the preggers space was the only one open, I would take it.
Next we will see spaces for senior citizens. Hey, that is me next month. Sounds like a great idea.

Next we will see spaces for senior citizens. I have seen these. I park in them anyway, as my taxes pay for their social security and Medicare.

"Assemblyman Chuck DeVore's bill would qualify pregnant women for "temporarily disabled" parking placards from the Department of Motor Vehicles. If they're going to do this,they should at least extend the courtesy to men recovering from their vasectomies.
