The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Roman Catholic school in a case involving employment discrimination allegations from an employee who was terminated after she became pregnant out of wedlock.
I go from -“that’s stupid” to “aww hell no” the second I find out the school accepts even a single dollar of taxpayer money.
“Roman Catholic school”.
The leopards eating faces religion…
Unpopular opinion, but…
She signed a contact saying she would abide by Catholic law, which includes abstaining from premarital sex, as a condition of employment. She broke the contract. We can agree or disagree until the cows come home about how ridiculous said employment clause is in this day in age, but she broke a binding contract with a religious establishment. If you don’t want to get fired for getting knocked up, don’t work for a church affiliated establishment.
Only if it equally applies to men who get someone else pregnant out of wedlock.
Also it’s supposed to be federally illegal.
The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 (PDA) makes it illegal for employers with 15 or more employees to discriminate against women because of pregnancy, child-birth, abortion, or medical conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth. Pregnant workers must be provided with the same benefits and accommodations and treated the same as non-pregnant workers who have similar abilities or limitations to their work.
