Wasn’t this an AITF episode when Gloria got pregnant? Sounds familiar.

I remember that episode. The department store fired her for being pregnant. She and other pregnant women formed a picket line. I also remember a police officer joined their protest. She was also pregnant.

Correct me if i'm wrong but weren't they shouting "Power to the Preggos!"

The conversation pivoted from the laws that forbid women to do certain things like getting a loan without their husband's approval and not being allowed to work being pregnant.
Norman Lear was famous for always inserting cutting edge social causes especially women's liberation in the 1970s.
