Leon County Woman Sues Over State Parking Law

(Tallahassee, FL) -- A Leon County woman is suing the state over a law meant to help pregnant women. Olivia Keller sued last week to overturn a law that allows pregnant women to get handicapped parking permits. She claims the law violates the Americans with Disabilities Act by allowing pregnant women to use the few available spots reserved for the handicapped. According to the lawsuit, fewer parking spaces means Keller's ability to participate in work, medical care, social and community activities is severely limited. Keller tells West Palm Beach's CBS 12 she empathizes with pregnant women, but the law is putting convenience above need.
