I don't think that I understand your sentence.

I mean that I don't think that your change in rule will make very many people
eligible who were not already eligible, nor will it keep people eligible when
there are reasons why they can not travel.

In particular, I think that if we want more gendre and age equity, then we
must be aware of this childbirth constraint on travel (on both men and women).
