(20,234 posts)You get pregnant. Maybe from rape. Unless you're one of those women whose bodies have a way of shutting that down unless you enjoyed the rape. Or you weren't deemed a rape victim because your vagina wasn't shredded properly. Or you didn't qualify as a rape victim in your state because you weren't married. None of those circumstances matter though - you won't report it as a rape because the time off work for the trial will get you fired.
Or maybe you weren't raped and it was just an unplanned pregnancy and you can't afford to raise a child on your crappy minimum wage job. But you're in a location where abortions are so restricted that you can't get one without taking multiple days off work, which will get you fired, so you're unemployed now.
Or maybe you could get one legally but you can't scrape up the money for it, and insurance (if you have it) doesn't cover that procedure.
Or maybe you want to be pregnant. You get fired for being pregnant.
Or hey, maybe you aren't even pregnant at all, never have been. You just get fired for being too attractive.
Wait no, we'll stick to being pregnant. You're pregnant, you have complications and as a result the doctor orders you to drink more water. Now you get fired for having water during a nonscheduled break.
