On the recordMarch 9, 1995
this bill as written discriminates against the young child who has a limb severed or is decapitated, really, as a result of playground equipment, a senior citizen who is burned horribly in a fire with a defective heater, a student who is exposed to toxic substances and is impaired for life, a homemaker, be that male or female, but usually it ends up being female, a woman who is at home providing for her family but not a wage earner at that time? All of these people are treated as second-class citizens under this piece of legislation unless the gentlewoman's amendment is adopted.
