[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless we find a way to make men as responsible for the baby as what the mother is going to be.
Like jail sentences for men who do not wish to have contact and do not help with the washing or feeding or babysitting

And we could make it illegal for someone to fire a pregnant nanny[/quote]

That's interesting. So when the nanny has a newborn, which baby becomes the priority?  Her own or her employers?  I guess that's the employers problem because it doesn't matter if they signed up for that arrangement or not if your brilliant idea became law.

I can't stand when people repeatedly misuse the term fire. Firing someone is essentially when they've f?cked up, cost the company money or did something illegal. Letting someone go, or downsizing is when the economics or other circumstances require a shift in personell.

I don't have a dog in this fight, so th HR experts that'll attack me may as well save their fingers. [/quote]

Well, I'm neither in HR nor law, but I'm pretty sure firing someone, or letting them go, if you prefer, for getting pregnant is discrimination. It's not entirely protected, but really, PP you think we should just be able to fire pregnant women.

I've been "downsized," and I can assure you no matter what the reason or how it's framed, you feel 100% rejected and shitty.[/quote]

I have as well, and it does. But it isn't a firing. I have no opinion, what I support is the employer's right to manage his business reasonably. When its discovered that he may not be a lawbreaker, but a rotten employer, then the free market will treat him in kind with less talent and lost business. [/quote]

The free market will punish the employer? And in the mean time, the pregnant woman or new mother can just go hang? What a horrible thing to think. Firing is downsizing is terminating is releasing is getting the pink slip.

Back to OP's original question, you've provided an answer, PP: OP's anti choice friends and relatives can work toward abolishing pregnancy discrimination.[/quote]
