Escape Pod Dreams, the Anti-authority Authority Issue

This space reserved for expectant mothers, expectant fathers and expectorative grandparents!

I saw a sign in front of a local chain store the other night. It was next to a ramp and it said "Reserved for Expectant Mothers". My little brain bristled. It was a small car park, it was level (the ramp was because of the four inch sidewalk veranda), and I hate the phrase. "Expectant mother" is an abomination. Why can't it just say "gravid humans"? I mean, they are obviously trying to avoid the word PREGNANT, which is offensive to so many people for reasons I cannot imagine. Is it because it calls to mind IMPREGNATE, that most unthinkable of activities? Or do they just object to the number of hard consonants grouped together in an unseemly manner? You can't be an "expectant" mother if you haven't already pumped out a unit. I would prefer "prospective" mother, but the saints in our area might take that as condoning s*x. So I guess I just object to a sign being there at all, in any wording, considering that it blocks what would normally be a handicapped spot. "Gravid humans" are not handicapped per se.
