How Do You Feel About Pregnant Women Using Handicap Parking?

A firestorm of protest erupted this morning when Ashli and I read an email we received regarding a pregnant woman who thought it was fine for her to use handicap parking spaces. Here's the email. Let us know what you think!

Dear Pete & Ashli -

Over the weekend my husband and I were with family for Easter. We were having dinner when my sister-in-law said the thing she'll miss the most after having her baby is not being able to park in the handicap spots.

After I realized I had actually heard her right (and exchanging an awkward glance with my husband), I spoke up and said that she wasn't supposed to park in handicap spots just because she was pregnant.

She tried to explain, saying that she had the right since she was carrying a baby. I was in disbelief -- and tried to tell her there was a difference between physical disabilities and being pregnant.

That's when she played the 'What Do You Know, You've Never Been Pregnant' card.

Help! Please tell me I'm not crazy. She's wrong -- right?
