Pregnant women need to be able to move to give birth. You guys don't know what giving birth is like. Trust me, you need to move!  The Hebrew women in the Bible gave birth sitting on birthing stools, which is a good idea, because gravity helps with the delivery. But lying flat in a bed and not being able to move around would be agonizing!  I don't know of too many women who would run away when they are in active labor. The physical action of birth just wouldn't allow them to go far anyway!  And they don't call it labor for nothing!  You're too darn tired to move afterward, so just vote to make shackles & restraints for pregnants prisoners a thing of the unenlightened past. Thank you.
