82. That's pretty spurious.

First of all, by "breeders" and "baby factories" I was referring to families who breed. Don't try to diffuse this point by making it a "womyns' issuy".

How you can even suggest that someone injured in an accident "chose" to be handicapped? That's pretty much the most moronic thing I've ever read on this forum.

Pregnancy = choice.

Yeah, your life gets more difficult when you're pregnant. Get used to it. It's only the tip of the parenthood iceberg.

How do you know I (for example) haven't just worked a fifteen hour day of manual labour, and walking across a parking lot is just too much to consider. Here's how: You don't. To suggest that someone has more rights than I do because she's pregnant or has kids is unfair and discriminatory.

When it's the law that only breeders may park in breeder spots, I'll obay it. It's not currently a law, because being pregnant isn't widely recognised as a disability. And one of the reasons it isn't is because it's voluntary.

And just for you, I'm going to make a point of parking in them, even when other spaces are available. I can't wait until the first person calls me on it.
