Bad News: Womens’ Bodies Are Still Genetically Fearful of Workforce Inequality : Source: Fishwrapper:– In case life and celebrity wasn’t generally horrifying enough for you, here’s a bit of a newsflash: plus-sized model Robyn Lawley — who’s currently pregnant — considered aborting her baby because she was concerned over the negative implications on her career.

Good luck with your pregnancy, Robyn, and hey … be careful. Parenting is a whole new career. Continue Reading….. ift.tt/1z3SE06
