Pregnancy as Disability
So, California Assemblymember Chuck DeVore wanted to pass a bill that would deem pregnant women temporarily disabled, and therefor able to use parking spaces reserved for the disabled.
We tend to think--and we told the Sacramento Bee as much--that there are some problems with that. Namely, that it classifies pregnancy as a disability. If pregnancy-- in fact a quite natural state for women--is a disability across the board, then will pregnant women be treated differently in other venues?
The bill died, but it's the second time it's been introduced, and could well be seen again. What do you think about it?
