NYC Mayor de Blasio forces bars to serve pregnant women
Washington Times ^ | May 9, 2016 | Bradford Richardson

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Human Rights Commission released Friday new guidelines forcing bartenders in the city to serve pregnant mothers alcohol.

The guidelines say discriminatory “stereotypes” about what is in the best interest of the health of the “fetus” are impermissible by law.

“Judgments and stereotypes about how pregnant individuals should behave, their physical capabilities and what is or is not healthy for a fetus are pervasive in our society and cannot be used as a pretext for unlawful discriminatory decisions in employment, housing, and public accommodations,” the guidelines state.

The new guidelines were issued to clarify the New York City Human Rights Law, which bars discrimination “on the basis of pregnancy or perceived pregnancy,” according to the guidelines.

The guidelines provide examples of actions that constitute discrimination toward the pregnant, one of which is “a restaurant policy that prohibits staff from serving pregnant individuals raw fish or alcohol.”

I guess that means that the fetal alcohol syndrome kids won’t be able to sue the bars for selling mommy booze, right.

Yes it’s hard isn’t it

Always being told by women they can’t tell if you’re prettier than Brad Pitt or Chris Cornell or Jon Snow

It’s a tough life being us

..too bad De Blasio’s mother didn’t drink when she was pregnant with that piece of garbage

That assumes facts not in evidence.

It’s the woman’s decision not the effing government

DeBlasio's move IS a case of the government deciding. Private bars and restaurants choose not to serve alcohol to pregnant women - exercising their right to deny service to patrons for whatever reason. Bill DeBlasio sticks his snout in and mandates that these private establishment now must serve pregnant women.

Yeah, I have to carry a stick everywhere I go but I don’t have to run as much as I did twenty five years ago which is good because I’m not very fast on my feet now.

I’m under no illusion

What little attraction I ever held to the ladies was my wallet and my alphaness

Not my mediocre looks

That’s true of many of us
