Yes, absolutely.

Not only that, but the constant "danger to mother and child" really rubs me the wrong way, as well. Being pregnant is inherently dangerous in itself. Miscarriages can happen for literally no reason.

I think I understand the sentiment in the original statement, but it's a bit misguided in many ways.

The amount of stories I heard from older generations while I was expecting. "Don't lift your arms above your head." "Don't lean down and get a pot out of the drawer." It seems every woman has a story, or the story of a friend highlighting the ever present risks.

The original comment made a big deal about jobs requiring physical ability. But there are so many jobs thill be impacted by this DEI freeze that are behind desks and are probably safer than being home alone.
