Elizabeth Warren's Story Of Pregnancy Discrimination Is Neither Unique, Nor Out Of Date

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has said she was fired from her teacher's job in 1971 for being pregnant.

After a conservative news site targeted Warren's depiction of her experience, hundreds of women took to social media to talk about their own experiences with pregnancy discrimination — showing her experience was neither unique, nor out of date.
