The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.

The "pro-life" movement, in a nutshell. Just a group of raging scumbags.
That whole thing could have been avoided if she just left 🤷. Jobs don't give a flying fuck about you. You will be replaced in a weeks time. Worry about yourself and yourself only.
Before anyone tries to come at me saying she couldn't leave. Yes she can. Doesn't matter what rule or threat or law you come up with. If u wanna leave then leave nobody forced her to stay but her loyalty to a shitty company.
That is not always the case.
There can severe penalties if there is a contract involved.
Totally agree, but that doesn't make it a winning argument. Clearly, there were also severe penalties for staying. She was stuck in a shitty position, but if the choices are court battle over contract/termination vs. court battle over stillbirth then perhaps a contract dispute is worth it.
Holy victim blaming, Batman.
I've never seen someone attend to defend At Will employment like this before. I can't say it's a good first showing.
You can just walk out no matter what an employer says.
just when you start to wonder if Texas can get any more hateful.. they come through for us, though.. gotta give 'em that.. consistency is what Texas is about.. consistently fucking ignorant and hateful..
