"paying," for pregnancy?

   Lauri Wolfe was just an ordinary woman with an ordinary job, living what many may consider a relatively normal life. She was six months pregnant when she was told she was being fired from her job at a local Speedway gas station. She held the position of manager and had worked very hard to get to that point. She was outraged and crestfallen not to mention absolutely livid with how her company was treating her. Her paroxysms are not without reason or validation however; The 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act is supposed to stop incidents like this before they even happen. Through this act, pregnant women are supposed to be protected during their time of stress. Women are said to be allowed to take the time required off of work during their pregnancy and earn paid leave. Her lawyer argues that no woman should have to chose between pregnancy and a job and that is indeed what her employers are making her adhere to. Wolfe is outraged and hoping to appeal in the court for her constitutional rights and what is supposed to be given to her through the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. In the meantime, the Wolfe's have been given no other choice but to move in with close friends due to her husband's also very sudden- and unexpected loss of work. Wolfe has said recently, "no one deserves this," and continues to hope for the best in her upcoming court case.
