“If this passes there will be a lot less pregnant workers. Firms will hire less and less women.”
Remember Norma McCorvy aka Jane Roe? One of many reasons her lawyers argued she needed an abortion? She was gang raped (she was not) soon to be a single mom who would not be able to get a job because she was pregnant.
Being the early 1970’s yes pregnant women probably were discriminated against. It makes no sense to me that it took until President Clinton to pass a bill to protect them yet Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington push for roe?
Think about it. Now the Democrats are tying to keep women at home barefoot, broke and pregnant.
When I got my first job in the ‘70’s, a physical was required that included a required pregnancy test. I had a coworker that got pregnant twice after being hired. She wasn’t married. They called her to the office and said that pregnancies when unwed were frowned on and if got pregnant again she would be fired.
It was the 70’s.
I doubt that is what they are trying for.
Rather its multiple other goals. Another way to divide men and women. Another way to force a liberal social policy through a business law. Another way to force abortion onto the population. Another way to boost the abortion industry. Another way to go after employers for not hiring women.
