Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statement 2 describes a situation of pregnancy discrimination, which is prohibited by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. This law prohibits discrimination against employees on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. The fact that women were taken off the health care plan and encouraged to quit after announcing their pregnancies suggests that they were being treated differently than men with medical conditions, which is a violation of this law.
