Stork parking is actually very logical. I can understand the pointlesness if any old person stold the spot. Thats a dick move. But think if it was dead winter and a pregnant woman need to go grocery shopping and the store was packed. You want her to walk her pregnant self across a slippery parking lot which it is unsafe to her and her child. Just saying. They were created to fill a need. Should we have elderly parking as well then? I'd argue that most elderly people capable of driving have some form of a handicap sticker...

Should we have elderly parking as well then? Um, no. I know 66 year olds that can run miles, and 66 year olds that can barely walk. Having trouble getting around because you're 8 or 9 months pregnant is a universal problem.

I've never heard of the term "stork parking" in all my life. Anyways, pregnant women shouldn't get any special treatment, sorry but that's how it is. It's not like with Handicapped people who might not be able to physically walk a long distance in the parking lot or need the extra space to exit their vehicle, you chose to get pregnant, and you have to deal with it. The only spaces I see here besides the handicapped ones are labeled "for parents with infants" which to me is even more insane than a special spot for someone who is pregnant. I park in these spots all the time, it's stupid to even designate them.
As far as the law goes, legally businesses only have to provide handicapped spaces to comply with ADA. While it would make you a total bunghole, unless your in a public parking area, it's not "illegal" to park in handicapped parking spots. It's up to the private business owner to enforce their use and call a tow truck to come out and get rid of people who shouldn't be parked there, and most won't even bother. Again, I don't advocate parking in a handicapped space, but it's not like you'd get arrested or get a parking ticket for doing so in most instances.

I think handicap spaces are silly for the most part, most people that qualify dont need them and Im sorry but if youre in a wheelchair, isnt it easier for you to travel across the parking lot? You have wheels! How ignorant. You sound like a complete dick honestly. Do you really think a person in a wheel chair is going to be able to get out of their vehicle in a normal spot? Especially if they have a side ramp on their vehicle. Try pushing yourself around in a wheelchair and see how quick that last. Isn't easier for you to get around? You have working legs!

You make getting pregnant, which can be a beautiful thing, sound like a consequence to having sex. So you're telling me that since a woman chose to get pregnant, she's entitled to being extremely uncomfortable? I feel like if some of you guys knew the type of physiological changes a woman deals with throughout her pregnancy, you'd have different opinions on the matter. I want my wife and my child to remain as healthy as possible. Letting her walk across a huge parking lot and being okay with it because "she chose it" would me an a**hole husband.

Not to mention if the weather is poopty, who wants a new born in the rain, or cold? Then you have the bunghole driver who would just take a family out no trouble. I agree with this closer parking. The funny part is the people who park in those spots or handicap and don't belong there are the first people who would have a pregnant wife or handicap person and throw a fit when they couldn't find a spot.

Then drop her off at the door if it's that big a deal to you. Ever had to go to the store when you were deathly ill because you needed meds or food or both? It's impossible to move. Why not have parking for sick people? Why not have parking for people who are in a hurry?

There is little to no places around here that I know of that offer such parking, but I do find it ironic that the majority of the people here being ***holes about this are guys, who have no ing clue what it's like to be carrying a child and the struggles that it could hold.

Fat people have a hard time moving around. We should have special parking for fat people.

Does it hurt you arms, constantly reaching for bull**** "what about this" examples that barely illustrate your point? Pregnant women can't move around because they're big and huge. Fat people can't move around because they're big and huge. We are supposed to give preference to pregnant women because they are big and huge and can't move. But not for fat people.

You USUALLY only see stork parking near stores liike Toys 'R Us and maternity stores, that have frequent pregnant visitors. It's not like stork parking is popping up all over the US depriving you guys of a parking space 10 feet closer to the store.
You want to park there anyway? Or you want to abolish handicap parking? Then you honestly shouldn't wonder why women and other people don't like you. It's not because you're a geek, or because you're misunderstood, it's because you're a self-important jerk. Seriously, people want to talk about deceny, or values, or complain because their wrestling figures came in a bent package or that their shipment was 2 days late, but in the same breath whine about the handicapped and pregnant getting preferential parking spaces. Christ.

I'm sorry I see nothing wrong with them having a few parking spots close to the store reserved for pregnant women. God forbid we show little kindness to other human beings.
You all complain about pregnant women or handicapped people having special parking near the front of the store. You say they can walk from anywhere else in the parking lot just fine, well so can you, so quit your bitching just because you can't have the spot right in the front of the store.
