This seems like a bit of a no-brainer. Pregnancy, on its own, is not a disability, just like old age isn’t a disability. However, if either condition means you’re unable to cross a parking lot in a reasonable amount of time, then you are disabled. I think if you consult Webster or the OED, they’ll back me up on this.
Nonsense. You CHOOSE to be pregnant. If your job is gone after delivery — too damn bad!
