The states that so is situate it says any group that doesnt get the benefit, a group that is nonpregnant, then pregnant people are any group at all . If you have a policy, im not sure what one would look like that singled out pregnant employees plus one other employee, my guess is what category of employs . A policy that is at issue here distinguishes on the job versus off the job injuries. Thats a distinction that is echoed in state and federal law. Thats a far cry from the policy that singles out pregnant women. Singling out is in the first or targeting or otherwise primarily disadvantaging.

At this time my knowledge of physiology topology, have followed you that pathology, and psychology told me the president was totally blind from the pressure of the blood on his brain. As indicated by his paralysis, his dilated eyes and their bloodshot and bulging, but i persisted in the belief that he retained his ability to hear and to feel, and so in that belief i think he heard me when i sent for his son. He heard his wifes voice as she spoke to him. The knowledge that frequently in the moments before departure recognition and reason return to someone whos been unconscious i persisted in this belief, and i held his right hand for several hours, the hand that had signed the emancipation proclamation freeing 4 million slaves firmly within my grasp so that in his blindness he might know that he was still connected to humanity and that he had a friend. All our land is draped in mourning h

He last rode out before his visits to fords theater. Tomorrow, ill country will market lincolns death, but today we celebrate his life the profound and Lasting Impact of his ideals and values.
