[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just as an FYI, OP, it has been more than a decade since the Supreme Court noted that infertility was a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Old news.[/quote] I actually never heard before this. What was the rationale? [b]Why would someone need protection from discrimination?[/b] She said that she told the school because she was going to her medical appointments during the day. What if they asked her for proof of appointments?[/quote] This case answers your question. She was fired for doing IVF, which they only found out about because she had to ask for time off. A non-religious employer would not have been able to fire her for a medical condition because people are protected by the ADA. This is why the religious exception is so unfair. [/quote]
