ICYMI: Victory for Brittany and Baby Lovely!!

Thanks to all who signed the petition to Georgetown University Law School using reasonable accommodations for a pregnant student whose baby is due during exams. The law school has made arrangements for Brittany to take the exam after the baby is born. 

I did reach out to the administration and am very pleased with the resolution. Some students are concerned that this was an exception, but in my mind they have established precedence as well as followed the law. Most importantly, the law school has met the needs of Brittany and Baby Lovely, just as they have for pregnant and parenting undergrads since our first FFL Pregnancy and Parenting Resource Forum in January 1996.

We wish them all the best, and on behalf of the Board and staff, I wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Because women deserve better–and all babies deserve life and love,
