More than 30 years ago, Congress wisely passed the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Yet today, many pregnant women still experience unfair and unnecessary challenges on the job.
Nondiscrimination has been the law of the land for over three decades, yet, in some workplaces, the standard for treatment of pregnant women has remained in the dark ages. Some are fired or demoted, with no hesitation, when a modest accommodation would allow them to continue to work and support their families.

If one accepted Jarrets philosophical argument then you’d have to demand that employers pay for condoms for male employees AND provode them paid time off during the pregnacy of the mother of their child, wife or not.
Jarret, absolute Marxist as she is, is simply desirous of transferring all parenting responsibilities to the state or as a mandate by the state against employers, making employers mere de facto public utility extensions of the state.
I think it’s discrimination when a baby is aborted without a chance to try living~ or have a voice!
“Pregnancy discrimination” ??????
If you got hired for a 40 hour a week job, then why did you get pregnant? Who is supposed to take up the slack while you are pregnant?
The only thing this witch ever worked “round the clock” on was the destruction of America; and, that’s a task she in which she is still engaged.
Yeah, I just like answering absurdity with another absurdity.
My outtie is too small to pass a baby....
Fine by me. I want em working so I don’t have to talk to em so much....
Discrimination? Yes, we need to get man pregnant...
