Why?

Why should the ASA (or whatever) association feel the need to regulate the activity of pregnant females? Heck, they don't require much at all in the way of safety equipment for umpires - a mask and that's it.

What about umpires with other physiological characteristics? OK, blind I get ...

If she can meet the same requirements for umpiring as are applied to every other umpire, physically, the last thing the local association, league, whatever, needs is to get involved in personal medical decisions.
