FILE - In this Oct. 4, 2019 file photo, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., speaks at the SEIU Unions For All Summit in Los Angeles. For 41 years, federal law has banned pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. But the stories tumbling out this week show it’s far from eradicated. Prompted by Warren’s claim that she was forced out of a teaching job in 1971 because she was pregnant, scores of women have shared similar stories on social media.
Prompted by presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s claim that she was forced out of a teaching job in 1971 because she was pregnant, scores of women have shared similar experiences on social media. Police officers, academics, fast food workers, lawyers, flight attendants, administrative assistants and others say they hid pregnancies on the job or during interviews, faced demeaning comments and were demoted or even fired after revealing a pregnancy.
“It was just the worry that I was going to be seen as less reliable because I was a parent,” Horvath told The Associated Press. “There’s no good time to have a baby.” Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination by employers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. In 1978, it was amended to forbid discrimination based on pregnancy in any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay and job assignments in companies with 15 or more employees.also bans discriminationPregnant women have other protections on the job.
Barkacs thinks that’s changing. More men and partners of pregnant women are taking parental leave, following high-profile examples like Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. That could make employers less likely to penalize pregnancy as a disruption, he said.

Actually, when I was AD Army, the moment my unit found out I was pregnant, shoved chapter paperwork in my face, cuz many *do* leave. I turned that down saying I’d rather finish my contract time & yet they continued to dangle chapter paperwork. I kept saying no....................
So is Anti trust laws , hence Facebook , All fast food all produce , I can go all day
Of course it is. How can pregnancy discrimination rules even be enforced ?
Bernie supporters disagree with you, but who am I to judge.
My fiancé was forced to resign so her company didn’t have to pay her to “sit around the house for 3 months.” I was told the same thing when I applied for paternity leave. It’s not a woman thing, it’s a capitalism thing.
_Politics When did the US ban pregnancy?
No it’s not.
Who, when, by _____?
But Warren lied about hers.
The face of the Western world...
Probably shouldn’t use Warren’s picture for this story. She’s repeatedly lied about being fired as a teacher for being pregnant, a claim that has been proven false by records and own words. So, a different experience from those that actually have faced pregnancy discrimination.
Reality for some. Unchecked lie for others.
If the sperm doesn't want your eggs though, how are you gonna sue the sperm?
skennison 'Women say'
_Politics I remember having an interviewer that asked 'Are you married?' 'Are you planning on starting a family soon?' Questions that have nothing to do with how you perform a job should be outlawed.
What ever
Gotta wonder why they say that. Maybe there’s a story there? Look into maybe
Finally found a word to best describe ewarren’s awkward movements and animated body language ‘Galumph’
This is very true. Even married women with children are discriminated against.
The discrimination may still continue but ewarren SenWarren isn't a victim of it per her own words.
Warrens fake story about hers shouldn’t be the poster child for this.
Don't make Elizabeth Warren the face of pregnancy discrimination claims. Warren is the Jussie Smollett of pregnancy discrimination.
Says the woman who it never happened to.
But, why put a picture of someone who lied about that topic?
Now you’re concerned for the life of the child?
Hey , love the pics you're choosing for the candidates. Why can't you find flattering photos of them all, rather than those that look like they're in the midst of a biological event?
Pls PPL
They do know that this is an article written for men by men, right? If not it would read “Men really had no clue pregnancy discrimination still a reality 41 years after US ban.”
_Politics They’re also making 75 cents on the dollar... 😂... sorry... I almost made it through this Tweet with a straight face!
This isn’t a news story. This is a total hit piece in defense of warren. FYI, when women come out and defend warren over her claim, they’ve got no first hand knowledge as to WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. When warren gives an explanation for her 2 opposed stories, write a piece on that.
Especially when you make it up like Sen Warren
This is discredited fake news!
_Politics Are you really using a pic of Warren after the school put out a statement saying she was not fired for being pregnant? Does the DNC literally run the AP now?
Covering for lyin liz....no shame
Omg,the headline should be Warren “lies” about another part of her life story🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Except she wasn’t discriminated against bc she was pregnant- so there’s that
And not even the most senior issue on the long list of shit banned but not really banned in this country.
take it eazy women one think at the time you want everything today look around you women are in control around the WORLD we give it to you USE IT not like a blond
Yes, but please don’t put the liar ‘s picture on
Is it discrimination that men (traditional meaning, no offense intended to anyone) can not become pregnant? It is! so now what?
As an employer it is hard to choose a pregnant woman, soon to give birth and knowing they will want at least 6weeks to 3 months off as soon as they give birth. When you are needing someone full time why would you hire her before someone that isnt pregnant with the same experience
I dunno why they would discriminate against someone who can’t lift more than 25 pounds for a year wtf
Persons say theft is still a reality despite a US ban. WhiteLyin Elizabeth Warren is not native, she did not get fired for being pregnant. She is very rich. She is privileged not because her skin color, but because her family was wealthy. Wealth is Privilege & Liars Lie.
_Politics Words I overheard last year: 'They're just going to get in and get trained and then go on leave.' 'Maybe you just make them only take a week off [after giving birth.]' ^ this is reality.
She is a nut case. I never heard of a woman being for being pregnant. She is the only who is saying that to get votes.
_Politics So getting the government to enforce stuff is the problem? That sounds like more laws won't help! LeTs MaKe mOrE LaWs aGaInSt tHaT!
She. Lied. About. Being. Fired.
I’m waiting for men to stand up and say “Nu huh.”
Isn’t that why Lizzy Warren is pro-abortion? So that pregnant women won’t be discriminated against?
It happens but it didn’t happened to ewarren. Pocahontas lied again.
Of course it is. Did Warren recently put out a plan to fix this? If not, why is her image here?
more dividing from the Democrats and the media.
Great picture! 🤣😂
Liz Warren LIED about getting fired for being pregnant. The school-board meeting minutes and other documents prove it. Liz Pocahontas Warren is, like Crooked Hillary and most Democrat politicians, a serial liar.
_Politics It will continue to be as long as there aren't laws for extended parental leaves similar to those in Europe for example.
Bull.
Ban has no teeth so of course it goes on
Just file a suit or talk to corporate lmao. Pretty sure in the world of social media if you just accept getting fired for being gregnant then that's your fault
Such a liar ! Watch her 2007 interview!
You might want to use a different photo with your propaganda. Widely know she lied about that as well.
Yeah. Duh.
It’s a fact my dudes not just because we say so
It absolutely is, but Elizabeth Warren has never experienced it.
...and women who suffered pregnancy discrimination over 41 years ago now suffer age discrimination. WomensRights
What the hell does that have to do with the FACT that Pocahontas was not herself a victim of pregnancy discrimination any more than she us an American Indian? Warren is a culture/victimhood appropriator! Admit it!!
So... is this how they justify abortion? Is this the base for Planned Parenthood to provide it’s death-services?
Who is even denying this? Lol? People were criticizing her for changing her story, pretty impressive how her campaign got the media to turn it into a pregnancy thing
My wife got fired as a teacher
i can't even begin to guess what that means and for that i am tremendously grateful
It does but it didn’t happen to her.
There ya go AP,fixed it for ya.
Truth
No its not
And women also say that Elizabeth Warren is a stone cold liar who loves to pretend she suffered from discrimination when, in fact, she never has.
Former USambassador Jovanovic testified on Friday to a 3-committee investigating President Trump and Ukraine,and said the president put pressure on the State Department to oust her Jovanovic hid Lutsenko's accusations of corruption and its pressure on the prosecutor of Ukraine
A Coworker at a large nonprofit had to save sick hours to use after her pregnancy and then tried to dip into the donation pool for more, but there are none. I am saving my up along with my vacation time so I can go home to spend time with my mom who has metastatic breast cancer.
Women say? Everyone says!
My god
Don't understand why so many idiots oppose many rights for women. Not sure how they were born or came to this world
Except she lied but please try to help her cover it up.
IT. IS. A. LIE.
