Back in the day, it was not unusual for married women to have to leave their jobs if they were pregnant. Some employers also required women to be unmarried.

My old boss at That Insurance Company said they required she take a pregnancy test before they hired her, in the 1970s.

Boy that sure is an invasion of privacy! I heard the case of Roe Vs Wade but I did not realize how widespread it was. No wonder they wonder the battle with Roe Vs Wade. They did the wrong thing however, those “womyn” should have changed labor laws. It’s not my employers business if I’m married/single or pregnant.
