| Abortion travel benefits litigation Bloomberg Law: Sharona Hoffman, the Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law and co-director of the Law-Medicine Center, called the legal argument that providing abortion travel benefits is discriminatory “creative and novel.” “That’s a stretch because it’s not discrimination based on any medical condition, it’s a difference based on the decision they make about their pregnancy,” Hoffman said. The only way it might count as pregnancy discrimination is if a worker carrying out their pregnancy was denied travel benefits if they also needed to travel to obtain pregnancy-related care, which is an unlikely scenario, she said. |
