What are your thoughts on pregnant women being on front-line duty?

No quite right. Useless

You will always get flim-flam artists of both sexes, but by and large I like to think most people are fine regardless of gender.

We can pluck litigation seeking officers out the hat all night .These accident prone snowflakes cannot seem to cope with all life's poblems and sue their employer
From horses falling on them,barged into accidentally by a burly soccer player, bigamous husbands. Perhaps they really should be kept chained to the kitchen sink and prepare hubby' dinners after work. That is exactly the sterotype they fought to stop and become one of the lads. These claims are ridicuous and it appears the Chief Constable in this particular OP is saving the officer and her baby from herself judging by some of these links.

Your problem though Retro is that you are only highlighting female *** when there are plenty of male ones too, both stereotypical and more inventive ones. I could only highlight men if I so chose but that would make me unnecessarily slanted in my view, why not be more fairminded, it would do your arguments the powers of good tbh, because I hate flimsy people (of any persuasion) and i'm not far off agreeing with you on some points.

[Calicogirl]

wow you can't describe people flipping pancakes in the air it seems... lol

//Your problem though Retro is that you are only highlighting female *** when there are plenty of male ones too,//
That is true because this particular OP is the subject of a female officer. Yes I can trawl the web for litigacious male officers but not pregnant ones :-) who were given a safer working environment so that the officer could hopefully enjoy a safe full time pregnancy.

Off to get some shut eye now.

If she is deemed in unfit physical shape by the force then there you go what more needed


Suprised she won

[naomi24]

Calicogirl, //she was forced to do something she didn't want to do purely because she was female//

No … because she was a pregnant female. She was not the sole consideration.

[spathiphyllum]

I thout because ahe was pregnant she was unable to do something she wanted to do? Not forced to do something she doesn’t?

[naomi24]

Healthy pregnant women can do pretty much what they want to do, spath - pregnancy isn't an illness. It's just not sensible for a pregnant woman to be put on front line duties. There's a baby to consider.

Amen to that...
