Water-Drinking Pregnant Woman Asked to Leave Bar 15 Minutes Into her Night Out
Why? not because she was doing anything wrong, or illegal, but because she was pregnant.She wasn’t even drinking!
The bouncer took it upon himself to tell her to leave. Many people argue he had a right.
Why? because she was pregnant?
Last time i checked being pregnant in a bar wasn’t illegal. They argue he was worried and trying to protect the bar.
Oh, fine, but wouldn’t it be his job to protect every patron in that bar and not just the pregnant one? Then why did he only ask her to leave?
If she wasn't doing anything wrong, the.y don't have a right to ask her to leave, and there is nothing illegal with a woman being in a bar pregnant.
Hell, she can smoke & drink if she wants to (i'm not agreeing, or saying that's ok!) it isn't illegal, and that means the bouncer doesn't have a right to make her leave simply because she's pregnant.
It would be akin to asking someone to leave just because they're gay, straight, white, black, purple, liberal, democrat, vegan, whatever. Just because the bouncer didn't agree with a pregnant woman being in there, doesn't mean he had a right to make her leave.
It’s discrimination. He discriminated against her just because she happened to be pregnant.
"We live in a country where people feel increasingly empowered to make decisions for pregnant woman."
