Quote:When a Catholic school art teacher was asked to take on extra responsibilities, she requested a raise, explaining that she was about to have a baby.
Weeks later, she was fired from her New Jersey elementary school. The principal, a Roman Catholic nun, told her she was being terminated “because she was pregnant and unmarried,” court records show.
The woman sued. Her daughter is now 7, but the lawsuit remains in limbo, caught in a yearslong back-and-forth between New Jersey’s trial and appellate courts.

I went to Catholic school. My class had about 145 people in it.
That I know of for sure, we had one pregnant cheerleader who flew to another state over the holidays to have an abortion. One other cheerleader had the baby she was pregnant with after school was out...she was still allowed to cheer and participate in everything else. A former cheerleader was also pregnant but went on to finish out the year and walk the stage at graduation.
No one seemed to pay any attention at all...maybe because all were from wealthy families who probably gave a lot to the church. One's father was an attorney, one co-owned a manufacturing plant, and one owned a FORD dealership. In a town of about 3K these things aren't secrets. We just didn't talk about it. All three went on to marry in the church...the one who had the abortion and the pregnant one and the one who already had a child.
Same church wouldn't baptize my child...born after those two by a couple years...dad wasn't quite as into hitting the hip for the collection plate.
