She points out that according to her "research" that women are discriminated in the workplace anyway based upon their gender when stacked up against men with equal education and experience and the woman who is a mother is even discriminated more. This nugget of knowledge was shared in a conversation with a friend who is married and financially secure and practicing bc but stated if she did get pregnant that she would not abort because it would be a abortion of convenience ...which she found unacceptable. Well Nonny must educate her that there is not such thing as an abortion of convenience.
In a study using identical resumes for 2 women, participants consistently rated the mother as 10% less competent and 15% less committed than the non-mother. Only 47% of mothers compared with 84% of non-mothers were recommended for hire as head of the marketing department for a start-up communications company. Not only that, but the mother was docked in her salary by a whopping $11,000 (Correll, Benard & Paik, 2007).
Nothing about those statistics is a matter of convenience. I do not believe that any abortion can be said to have be done for mere convenience sake when mothers face this sort of discrimination. This is not even about career advancement, but simply hiring. The fact remains, if you are a mother you are less likely to be brought in for an interview, less likely to be hired, and you are going to be paid less. How can the inability to get interviews, get hired, or get paid be considered matters of convenience? The fact is abortions for convenience sake are a myth.There you have it from Nonny. The price of a life of her own offspring....$11K. On her timing or you are snuffed out. She is after all a bottom line type of gal.
It is all about me.....getting hired, promoted and a raise. Wouldn't you want her to be your mom?
