That's true. Right now the most unpopular person in the workforce is a woman who is 'older, married and without children'. Women can't work normal hours during pregnancy, around the time they give birth, and when they're breastfeeding. Also, the company still has to pay them, but they need to find somehow to do their work as well. It certainly raises costs. If I were the boss, I wouldn't like it either.
