What's the difference between a woman with an unplanned pregnancy and a woman with another type of unanticipated medical condition that would qualify her for me

What's the difference between a woman with an unplanned pregnancy and a woman with another type of unanticipated medical condition that would qualify her for medical leave?
>There's never been more access to birth control or knowledge about the reproductive process.
There's never been more access to knowledge about nutrition and preventative health, and yet diabetes and other lifestyle diseases are at all time highs. The US now spends >$200/billion annually on diabetes alone. As a matter of public healthy policy, should we be able to hold people with medical diseases or conditions more accountable based on how much public health information is available?
- Sileni 8y agoThe "Medical leave" portion of the time off is covered under completely different laws, so I'm not sure which portion of what I've said you're replying to. No one is being sent back to work without medical leave from their attending physician, who is charged with determining when the mother is healthy enough to go home and can go back to work. I absolutely do not, under any circumstances, believe in any being or institution ever getting between a mother and her doctor's right to determine what is medically best for her and her child. That is essentially what society was built to protect.
