American Big Business: Putting Pregnant Women and Their Fetuses at Risk
by If you are under the impression that laws such as FMLA protect every woman, you are wrong. If you believe American business has a heart, you are wrong. If you are pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant, and you have a job or career, beware!
What does that all mean? It means that each State can individually make up their own interpretation of the Federal FMLA act and the Department of Labor will NOT force Companies to adhere to FMLA. It means that only 11 States have enacted laws to “protect” women and unborn children, but even those states may rewrite their own bylaws to FMLA. Those States also protect themselves by stipulating that a woman must be on the job for 12 Months before she is covered under FMLA. As for the other States, there is NO protection for Women and it is perfectly legal to fire a woman, in essence, for giving birth, and recovery from said birth.
While I think it is important to protect businesses in a world of frivolous law suits, I also believe we, as Americans should hold business accountable for actions that affect the health and well being of our pregnant women and unborn children.
The Nation pays out Billions of dollars to ensure that welfare recipients obtain employment, but spend nothing to ensure that once they find that employment they will be guaranteed benefits which will continue to allow them to work if they give birth. In fact, the State is making it necessary for more women to have to obtain welfare. Why? Because the State bends to the demands of Big business, who, we have established, has no concern for women in general.
Back to our Young Mother in Nebraska; she is now unemployed, suffering medical maladies, has a child in the hospital, and may end up in one herself soon. This is the thanks she gets for opting not to rely on Welfare and to work hard and achieve the American dream. Some dream, more like a nightmare.
People need to become aware of what is and is not covered under the law to protect Women, and ultimately, unborn children. What is happening now is that the States are forcing women to take jobs in Big Business, which in turn punishes women for giving birth, and sends them back to the welfare rolls.
We’ve learned that Big Business is helping the State, and the State is helping Big Business, and laws are, in fact, created and enforced to ensure this partnership. It is an ugly circle, and it is the Nations Families, Women and Children who are suffering.
