Pregnant workers face 'discrimination'

AngryMan writes "The BBC does it again. The evil Patriarchy has come up with another cunning way to harm women, and that's pregnancy discrimination.
"Around 30,000 women a year are sacked or made redundant or leave their jobs due to pregnancy discrimination, research suggests....many businesses do face genuine challenges in managing pregnancy"
What, you mean they can't afford to keep an employee on full salary for a year without doing any work, while the other employees (mainly men) have to do extra work to cover for them? How unreasonable."
