Refusing to accommodate pregnant women is often completely legal. The only federal law protecting expecting mothers is the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which says companies that don’t give anyone a break have no obligation to do so for pregnant women. https://nyti.ms/2EArc6c pic.twitter.com/CYQNnbaUQh

In Germany pregnant women are protected by law. You are not allowed to lift heavy weights or work night shift when pregnant. The employer has to offer different tasks or the mom-to-be gets time off while being paid. You also usually can't be fired when pregnant.

I'll never understand the wilful ignorance from companies, men and women about pregnancy discrimination. How do you insensitive idiots think you exist? Where do companies think the next workforce is coming from? ACCOMMODATE PREGNANT WOMEN. THE LITERAL FUTURE!

Disgraceful. When feminism is pushed so hard that pregnant women are doing back breaking jobs and having their baby’s die. They should be at home resting and meditating with their growing child while the husband makes money. Pregnant women should not be work mules.
