update on loss

remember back in march when i wondered about ways to address miscarriage and still birth? when i said we really had to figure this out for oursleves as employers and employees, because sooner or later we'd have to acknowledge the grief and meaning of these losses? well what do you know...a lawyer is FIRED from an EMPLOYMENT law firm in SAN FRANCISCO because she had a miscarriage and the firm was none too happy she'd dared get pregnant in the first place.

more to come on the popular and overwhelmingly irritating social urge to punish pregnant women...
