Pregnancy discrimination is widespread in corporate America. Some employers deny expecting mothers raises, others fire them before they can take maternity leave. For women who work in physically demanding jobs, discrimination often comes with higher stakeshttps://nyti.ms/2CY1F50

In every congressional session since 2012, a group of lawmakers has introduced a bill for pregnant workers that would require employers to accommodate those whose health depends on it. The legislation has never had a hearing.http://nyti.ms/2CY1F50

the comments from men who have never carried a child due to their lack of uterus are unbelievable.

They’re the same guys that a cold takes down for a week.

Aren’t women equal to men? If men don’t get breaks, women shouldn’t either right? If they got breaks, they’re not putting in the same hrs and shouldn’t be compensated equally. Whoops, gender pay gap!

And who pushed for this language you highlight in the Preg. Discrim. Act that compares pregnant women to disabled people? Liberals did. And why? Because they did not want pregnancy uniquely treated. And why? There is the packaged answer and the real answer.

Let’s vote in more stuff to make the USA less competitive. That will help!?!? NOT. Better to have the jobs GONE, outsourced, so regardless of their health they have NO job and can depend on the government. How has that worked out so far?

In the name of equality why should employers treat women any different? If their health, even pregnancy, hinders their work performance they shouldn't be working. We want to be equal, don't we?

One example is if an employer provides a disability leave for a non-pregnant employee, say for a back injury, and later allows that person to return to work, they must allow a women with a pregnancy-related complication a pregnancy leave before birth with the ability to return.
