5:21Rep. Lauren UnderwoodVerified account @RepUnderwood41 years after the passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, women continue to face discrimination and unfair treatment at work due to pregnancy. This is wrong; no woman should have to choose between risking her job or risking her health. pic.twitter.com/0z27pyL8RmShow this thread0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesShow this threadThanks.
