Proposed Law: pregnant women dont need to wait
MK Yosef Jabareen (UAL) has proposed a law that would allow pregnant women to cut to the front of the line when waiting for any public service. Public service is being defined as any service provided by a person to the public by a public authority. The service provider will have the right to ask for a letter from a doctor confirming her status as being pregnant.
The proposal passed its initial vote 42-0 and will be prepared for further readings in Knesset.

Insanity. Why not a handicapped person? Why not anyone who has an illness.... It's well-meaning but very stupid
ReplyDeleteWhy not the handicapped? Just because the needs of all distinct groups are not addressed at once does not mean none should be. All-or-nothing is almost always the wrong approach.
DeleteAgree with Anonymous 9:02 PM. What about the elderly? Why all of a sudden just pregnant women? Is it because 'women are the new-in fad? Seems that way from all the news. The feminists have taken over! Ha?

Add war (and terrorism) disabled. But since the author is Arab, should not include Arabs disabled due to "factory errors"

ReplyDeleteas far as I know there is already a law allowing the elderly (above 80 I think) to skip lines
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether this is the law, or just common practice, but government offices that I have been to allow elderly, handicapped, and parents with small children present to skip the line. Looks like this law is just adding pregnant women to the list.
ReplyDelete(BTW - are we allowed to use the phrase "Pregnant Women", doesn't that discriminate about individuals who identify as men but who are pregnant?")
lol
DeleteWill they have to prove that they are pregnant?
Deleteas stated in the article, the service provider will have the right to request proof as shown by a letter of confirmation of pregnancy from a doctor. I would guess that at a certain point in the pregnancy visual confirmation will almost always be enough
