I'm disgusted

If you are a woman, know one, or are related to one then you'll almost certainly be as sickened as I am by this article on discrimination against pregnant mothers.  But not terribly surprised by most of it.  The bit that gets to me is that an advisor to the government is saying it, and nobody is speaking out to contradict him...

Oh, I agree. I think that the laws, in this case, are largely there for normative effect - to make it clear that some things are not acceptable. And for more egregious cases to be used as a public sign to that effect.
