Employers that champion women face accusations of discriminating against their pregnant workers, showing how widespread the problem is in American workplaces.
As a medical assistant at Planned Parenthood, Ta’Lisa Hairston urged pregnant women to take rest breaks at work, stay hydrated and, please, eat regular meals.
Then she got pregnant and couldn’t follow her own advice.
Last winter, Ms. Hairston told the human-resources department for Planned Parenthood’s clinic in White Plains, N.Y., that her high blood pressure was threatening her pregnancy. She sent the department multiple notes from her nurse recommending that she take frequent breaks.
Managers ignored the notes. They rarely gave her time to rest or to take a lunch break, Ms. Hairston said.

I see this all the time, young professionals so afraid to work regular work hours. Doing 10, 12 16 hours because they are so fearful of losing their jobs.

Slimes: not a problem specifically for PP, since it is ubiquitous.
It's just part of a 'bigger problem'.
I wonder if Ta’Lisa realizes there are better places to work as a medical assistant than for PP?
Plan Parenthood morphed into Instant Infanticide
What business do they have making babies? I thought their job was killing babies?
Isn’t that a bit hypocritical on their part? They butcher everyone else’s babies, but not their own?
Managers ignored the notes. They rarely gave her time to rest or to take a lunch break, Ms. Hairston said.
Man, this is rich.
Are they doing that many abortions a day that workers can't take regular breaks?! That's frightening.
