Abstract
Utilizing feminist perspectives on rhetoric and the law, this essay addresses the perpetuation of discriminatory workplace policies that historically have limited women's employment opportunities while confining their identity and agency. Focusing on naming metaphors adopted by employers, the legislature, and the Supreme Court, I argue that legal language has been detrimental to the image and rights of women in the workplace. With a particular focus on fetal protection, the latest incarnation of the strategy, the essay seeks to develop alternative approaches that will unite legal language with legal doctrine and more successfully protect the rights of women and others.
