"Approximately 30,000 women are forced from their jobs due to pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. Often managers and others believe that "pregnant women" are potential problems because they will miss work due to absenteeism or they may decide to stay at home with their infants after receiving benefits of paid medical leave.
