The final regulation also includes provisions barring discrimination based on pregnancy, including childbirth, abortion and lactation. For instance, schools must accommodate students' need to attend medical appointments, as well as provide students and workers who are nursing a clean, private space to pump milk.
I don't even necessarily disagree with this aspect, but it is amusing to me how often simply not providing something for free counts as "discrimination". Like the lactation room thing. It's not like they're providing private rooms to men and not women or anything - just not providing them at all somehow counts as "discrimination".
I really feel like that word has lost all meaning.
It's a tenet of the Democratic religion that something is discrimination if it affects one group more than another (a "disparate impact"), and therefore, equal treatment is often discriminatory.

They can pump at their desks so I can ogle their milkers.
