You didn’t read the case you cited. It didn’t involve a pregnancy. Try again and get it right this time.

Find me a case where a teacher was fired for being pregnant. I’ll wait patiently.

Once again, you continue to be wrong.

She is considered a minister in the Church because she is a teacher in a religious school. She may not consider herself one, but the school, and the parents who pay the bill, do. It is irrelevant weather she believes that she violated her own moral code, she violated the Churches. She stated in her accepting her employment contract that she would live by the tenants of Catholic Morality. She engaged in premarital sexual activity while employed as a teacher in the Catholic School showing contempt for the moral standards of the employer, a Private Religious institution with an exception from EEOC and Federal Law based on the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.

Pregnancy has NOTHING to do with her dismissal. It is a byproduct of the immoral act that was the just cause of her dismissal based on the morals clause in her employment contract that she freely chose to sign.

Let me hold your hand and spell it out to you like you where in Kindergarten:

The fact that she is pregnant is NOT why she was fired. Plenty of pregnant women work for the Catholic Schools & Churches. She was fired because she broke the terms of her contract. The pregnancy, coupled with the fact that she IS NOT MARRIED, is simply proof positive that she broke her contract. A contract that she was obliged to follow or suffer the consequences.

Now if she worked for a private NON-Religious School, OR she worked for a denomination that had no moral teachings regarding premarital sex, ahe might have a case. She doesn't.

The Roman Catholic Church regards ALL its’ employees as Ministerial Employees. Her contract is worded as such RIGHT IN THE MORALS CLAUSE. She is a person held as a roll model to children, young children whose parents pay thousands of dollars a year to have their children educated ion Catholic Doctrine. An unwed mother is a direct slap in the face of the parents, the students and the Church.

The Church includes a morals clause in its’ contracts FOR JUST THIS TYPE OF SITUATION.

The case law is relevant BECAUSE she works for a religious institution. That makes her a Ministerial Employee, ACCORDING TO OPINION OF THE CHURCH, whose is the only one that matters in this instance.

If you do not like the ruling take it up with Judge Roberts and the other 8 black robed dictators.
