NEW YORK
A pregnant woman shows up at a New York City bar and wants to go in and order a drink despite health warnings against consuming alcohol while expecting. Should the tavern serve her?
It’s against the law to refuse, under guidelines the city Human Rights Commission released Friday to help people interpret a 2013 city law. It centers on expansive protections for pregnant workers, but the guidelines also say mothers-to-be can’t be kept out of New York City bars or denied alcoholic drinks just because they’re expecting.
“Judgments and stereotypes about how pregnant individuals should behave, their physical capabilities and what is or is not healthy for a fetus are pervasive in our society and cannot be used as pretext for unlawful discriminatory decisions” in public venues, the new guidelines say.

NYC bars must serve pregnant women, city says | The Star-Telegram
Some states have laws that allow authorities to bring criminal charges against women who use illegal drugs while pregnant or to detain expectant mothers whose heavy drinking poses a substantial risk to their unborn children’s health
Wouldn't have anything to do with RvW?
