Kaitlyn Anderson was nearly six months pregnant and an employee for the Missouri Department of Transportation when a vehicle struck and killed her at a worksite.
Fetuses aren’t people - this is a fucking bonkers case to even be discussing. The true injustice here is that employers are immune from liability - if this employee died due to corporate negligence then the department should pay out to the family… if the employee was at fault then the fact that there was a fetus involved shouldn’t change anything.
Fucking Republicans - fetuses aren’t people and there are very good reasons for that distinction. Your religious beliefs shouldn’t complicate our fucking legal system.
According to previous coverage, Anderson had requested a safer position when she found out she was pregnant. MoDOT did move her out of buffer trucks where she had been hit three times.
I’d love to know the time frame here. How long had she been on the job to have been kit 4 times!?
