New Pregnancy Discrimination Ad

October 27, 2011

Dear Feminists for Life,

Bold. Eye-catching. Provocative. Feminists for Life's ads are known for their powerful simplicity, and our newest addition is no exception.

Let students know that a school may not exclude a pregnant or parenting student from classes or school-sponsored activities, including sports and extracurricular activities, just because she is pregnant or a parent.

Let employees know that a company may not refuse to hire a woman because of her pregnancy, force her to take or remain on leave if she is able to perform her job, or make any adverse employment decision on the basis of stereotypical assumptions about the effect of pregnancy on an employee's job performance.

This message can be used in college and university dorms, on workplace breakroom bulletin boards, and around your local community.

(When posting ads, always ask permission and follow any posting guidelines, regulations, or ordinances. Please see other usage guidelines on Feminists for Life's website.)

Because women deserve better,
Serrin M. Foster
President
