No Parking for Pregnant Women

A bill heard in the Assembly yesterday would have given pregnant women 'temporarily disabled' parking passes for the last 3 months of pregnany and the first 2 after.

But the Assembly killed it, because, you know, those five months are such a joy for women already.

"Most women, not all women, in pregnancy should be physically active," said Shannon Smith-Crowley of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' California chapter.

So, we're going to force them to be, by god.

Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani, D-Stockton, cast the only yes vote. "I just think it does no harm to give women who need it, when they need it, the ability to do it," she said.

If only more Assemblymembers voted with the 'does no harm' standard.
