The pregnancy thing would definately put me off employing a woman in any imporant role, as having to do without a key member of staff for 6 months can be a nightmare, so I would just want to avoid that situaiton becoming more likely.
I think far from making women more equal, handicapping an employer financially for employing a woman who becomes pregnant is likely to make it harder for women to be taken seriously not easier.
