I agree. I think they are a good idea for expectant mothers in the last trimester of pregnancy. That's when pregnancy is a real disability. Earlier than that and it's more difficult to justify. If the pregnancy doesn't show, one doesn't need special treatment unless there are other medical grounds.

And another unpopular opinion: expectant mothers in the last trimester of preganacy should be required to wear sensible shoes by law. High heels and the ninth month of pregnancy do not go well together.
