Obesity is a recognized physical disabilitydidanbility, at least.  The folks who have placards that disturb me are the folks who talk their doc into giving one because they get migraines, for example Brien On Feb 25, 2006, at 1:37 PM, QuadPirate wrote: Well I've seen the abuse that people get away with using permits and the one that pisses me off the most is the one issued to people that are diagnosed with obesity!   Mark   -------Original Message-------   From: Miss Liz Date: 02/25/06 14:52:16 To: QuadPirate; quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] NJ Handicap parking   Dear Mark,  I was not clear in my post.  The legislature wants to pass a bill to allow all pregnant women to park in the handicapped spaces.  My point is a bill is being written for this.  If the mother requires the permit due to illness then have the dr. sign away at the form.    There are many disabilities visible and invisible.  If you have a LEGAL permit, park away!.  I just see this tentative law as being ridiculous.   I would like to see the proposed legislation bill but my search comes up with nothing. ----- Original Message ----- From: QuadPirate To: quad-list@eskimo.com ; Miss Liz Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 3:33 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] NJ Handicap parking That's cool but I would think it's the doctors recommendation that should dictate who is deserving of a disabled permit? I mean maybe not all regular pregnancies deserve these permits but I'm sure some are when you think about it they give one armed people disabled permits but I've never seen any complaints about that.   Mark   -------Original Message-------   From: Miss Liz Date: 02/25/06 13:51:36 To: QuadPirate; quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] NJ Handicap parking   Dear Mark,   Handicap parking in my area CT,NY,and NJ is totally abused by fake permits, people just running in etc.  I usually park across two spots and hope no one hits me as they are backing out as I traverse the parking lot.   Some stores have "Expectant moms" spots.  Great!!  Pregnancy is NOT a disability requiring a handicap permit. ----- Original Message ----- From: QuadPirate To: quad-list@eskimo.com ; Miss Liz Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2006 2:40 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] NJ Handicap parking I'm curious to why this is bugging you?   Mark   -------Original Message-------   From: Miss Liz Date: 02/25/06 13:29:34 To: Quad-List Subject: [QUAD-L] NJ Handicap parking   The local news WCBS_TV did a story @ NJ legislature wanting to put a bill through to let pregnant women park in handicap spaces. I am trying to find out what idiot proposed this idea so I may write a letter. Has anyone heard of this?       <IMSTP.gif>
