COLORADO–(ENEWSPF)–June 2, 2016. NARAL Pro-Choice America applauded Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper for signing HB 1438, a law guaranteeing pregnant Coloradans reasonable accommodations in the workplace such as bathroom breaks, access to bottled water, and the option to sit instead of stand. The bill also protects pregnant job applicants, who are often forced to hide or lie about their pregnancy for fear of missed job opportunities. Hundreds of NARAL members in Colorado took action to contact Gov. Hickenlooper to support this legislation, and more than 1,000 signed a petition urging him to stand up for pregnant Coloradans.
