Bushamerica - Company accused of demanding pregnant worker have ABORTION |

Because of various health issues, April Thompson said she had reason
to believe she might never have a child.
When she got pregnant, the joy she wanted to share with her employer
quickly turned sour when, she said, her boss demanded that she get an
abortion or risk losing her job.
Thompson's attorney, Ed Buckley, said the woman eventually was fired
by Piedmont Management Associates, a homeowners association management
firm, for refusing to get the abortion.
Thompson recently filed a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court
against the company and its president, Celia Ebert, on grounds of
discrimination and emotional duress. "We believe that the conduct of
forcing a women to get an abortion falls into intentional infliction
of emotional distress," Buckley said.
Ebert's attorney, Benjamin I. Fink, said his client would not comment
on the lawsuit.
"Ms. Ebert and Piedmont Management categorically deny Ms. Thompson's
allegations," Fink said in a statement. "Piedmont Management is an
equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate in its employment
practices."
Thompson could not be reached for comment. Buckley said she is on
doctor-ordered bed rest and is due to deliver in the fall.
According to the suit, Thompson began working at Piedmont Management
Associates in April 2002 and was promoted to closing director and
director of administrative services in fall 2003. Buckley said things
were going so well for Thompson that in May 2004, Ebert gave her a
loan with the promise that a raise was forthcoming. In June, she got
the raise and began paying back the loan, Buckley said.
But on a personal level, Thompson was suffering from endometriosis,
and a doctor recommended a hysterectomy to handle the condition, which
can lead to severe pain and infertility.
Thompson, 30, sought a second opinion from a fertility doctor and
decided on laparoscopy surgery. According to the lawsuit, when Ebert
found out Thompson was seeing a fertility doctor, she told her she was
"worried that she was trying to get pregnant."
"If you get pregnant, you will have to move because I am not putting
up with any babies around here and you also won't have a job," the
lawsuit says Ebert told Thompson. "The guys and I do not even hire
single mothers because of the problems. I know you have some great
delusion that you will be a great mother, but you won't — you can't
even take care of your dog."
In December 2004, Thompson's doctor told her laparoscopy surgery did
not address her medical condition and recommended the hysterectomy.
Thompson said Ebert agreed to give her medical and vacation time for
the procedure. On Jan. 24, Thompson went in to schedule her
hysterectomy and was told she was pregnant. According to the lawsuit,
when Ebert found out, she demanded that Thompson get an abortion.
Fink, Ebert's attorney, said Ebert "and Piedmont Management intend to
vigorously defend Ms. Thompson's claims and are confident that through
the legal process Ms. Thompson's allegations will be shown to be
completely false."

I think of it as corporatism run amok. As Bush's misadministration seems to
favor corporate interests, it seems these creatures know no limit.
Have you heard of some affiliate of the Carlisle group going bankrupt on a
nonperformance of contract suit. It seems the affiliate took large sums of
federal money in advance and then fail to clean up some toxic Superfund
sites. Bush Sr. is a director and has an interest in the Carlisle group. Go
figure.
