You do realize that becoming pregnant is not a part of equal opportunity rights, right?
If an employer feels that you will, at some point, not be able to maintain contribution to his/her company, you are in completely legal grounds to be fired. Regardless of circumstance.
If you're LUCKY, you might keep the job.
Just because guys can't get pregnant doesn't mean it's unfair treatment. Businesses look out for their business. Maintaining a proper work force is part of their obligation to their own business. Just because you become pregnant does not mean they have to suffer for it.
Companies don't owe anything to their employees except pay and whatever else is in their agreement. Male OR female.
If you're making a case about the fact that males don't get fired for becoming pregnant and unable to work, then you're barking up the wrong tree.
