I fail to understand how the absence of work for a few months is a prejudice. I mean, if a company needs to hire a person for a certain critical role in the next months, how is a person that cannot work during that period of time going to do the job? Honestly, that's just pathetic. If anything there should be laws to protect women's jobs in pregnancy situations. Pretending that it's a non issue will only make room for discrimination under the radar.

Honestly, I thought that everyone was replaceable in today's world...

I think you're making unwarranted assumptions. Specifically, you haven't read the family leave statutes. Employers don't really have any obligations under them until an employee has worked for a year, and small employers are generally exempt.

well, that depends on where you live.
