I'm not saying that pregnancy IS a handicap, as I have a child myself. Alot of things people get handicap passes for aren't really "disablilites"
What I am saying, is that because most of soceity is full of jackasses and take up the front spots or ones that are reserved for "Expentant mothers" why not give those pregnant women a pass thats universal so they don't get stuck at that spot in the back of walmart or the mall...

Handicap parking permits (laws vary from state to state) are issued to those drivers suffering some physical limitation which may make it more difficult to get to the establishment's doors than it would for a person without that limitation. Those permits are not just issued to handicapped persons, but also to those who routinely transport people who suffer those limitations.
That having been said, there is no greater responsibility in this life than caring for children, and in many (indeed most) cases, taking children to most stores (and anywhere else mothers need to frequent) creates a physical limitation... because the mother not only has to watch out for herself, but for a person (however tiny) that cannot watchout for himself (or herself).
As many establishments do not have the courtesy to extend special parking privileges to current and expectant mothers (and as another person pointed out - even those places that do have parking for mothers end up losing those spaces to people too discourteous to hike an extra 20 feet)... it would be in our best interest as a society to grant these mothers the same privileges extended to other drivers who need help getting safely to the door.
Why, you may ask, is it in our best interest as a society? Simply put, there is no greater criterion by which a society can be judged than how it treats its children. Make protecting children (and their mothers) a primary focus of our society and our society will quickly improve.

no. pregnancy and child birth are NOT a handicap. Unless you have had major complications in which case you shouldn't be out and about at Walmart.
I was pregnant and walked around even though I was uncomfortable. I stayed home for about a week after the baby was born too. There's no reason for it. It would be taking the spot away from someone who really needed it.

No. I think that handicap parking passes should be reserved for people with disabilities. There are people out there who really can't walk or get around and they need their own parking spots.
I do, however, think more parking lots should get the expecting mother/mother with a newborn parking spots. A lot of places have them now. The 1st two spots are handicapped and the next 2 are for expecting mom's. That way we can still park up close if we are having troubles getting around.

sure, that is legal. better than probably scholars that are no longer disabled additionally would desire to pay for a parking enable in the event that they prefer to park on campus. --- A handicap guy or woman would even have the alternative of parking off campus and looking out different ability to get onto campus. Sorry, yet your concept would not paintings. all people has the choice to park on campus and pay the cost, or park off campus and not pay the cost.

Yes I do because they have to deal with alot of extra pressure. More at risk for falls and just tired as hell in general. And most have more then one child they are trying to load, and unload.
There are alot of people that use those spots and dont need them, and dont even have a parking pass to do so.
However most pregnant women dont still drive much when they are that big, and would be easier to get let out by the door and picked back up. They can use the little motor carts once inside:)
I had one but i was high risk , and i was driving myself, and had nerve issues in my back.

yes i think that they should because at 26 weeks the mom is already having problems with caring .think about it if she was having more then on child and had to walk a good was to see her doctor. i wish that i had a parking pass when i was caring my twins it would have made things much more easier when my ankles got week and my feet began to swell.

In extreme cases. I have 5 children. The last two were twins. No one did me any favors. My pregnant butt had to walk.

no. I do think they should assign them to women that are high risk though. If you have any complications you shouldn't be walking much. However, if there are no complications, walking is good for you.

NO!
Pregnancy and motherhood is in no way, shape or form a "handicap"!
