Some people are questioning presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's claim that she was basically fired from a teaching job in the early 1970s because she was pregnant. It's hard to imagine that many of them understand what it's like to be a working mother -- then or now. Kara Alaimo Media outlets have dug up a 2007 interview in which Sen. Warren recalled that teaching job, saying she remembered thinking"I don't think this is going to work out for me. I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple years," to suggest she left her job of her own volition. That's insane.
