Nice post Kendra Fawcett, I can understand your point of view, but there are jobs that a pregnant woman may apply for that are dangerous just out of desperation for a job. Such jobs like a construction job, or a job where the employees are always around dangerous chemicals, would be very costly for a small business having to pay to cover the pregnant woman’s health insurance.
According to the EEOC, “Any health insurance provided by an employer must cover expenses for pregnancy-related conditions on the same basis as costs for other medical conditions (para 6, 2008).”
Nevertheless, a job that you described like Walmart, as long as the pregnant woman is qualified and is capable of doing this job “pregnant” then she should be allowed to work
