Why doesn’t she just do what most working mothers do and pump enough for the day. It stores in the fridge. Leave the kid with the dad and let him feed the little tyke.

Sounds like she is just looking for excuses for her fear of taking such an important test.

We steered clear of my wife the two weeks before her boards.

The danger here is labeling breast feeding as a disability. Let’s be honest, the feminist agenda labeled pregnancy as a sickness to get paid medical leave equal to, say, a heart attack. If this case succeeds, breast feeding mothers will be suing under ADA.

Pregnancy is NOT a disease and breast feeding is not a disability.

I guess she feels she needs to "maximize" her "special accomodation" and that is why she won't do something like pump breast milk - which I imagine is what 99% of the most reasonable women in her situation would do.

My wife pointed out the article to me and she said the woman sounds like "a nut."

She already is accommodated for dyslexia, ADHD, etc.

Even Harvard liberals have had it with this woman (which is amazing).

From the article:

Federal anti-discrimination laws do not protect nursing mothers. The Breastfeeding Promotion Act that is pending in Congress would protect women from being fired or punished for pumping milk or nursing.

Well, that will be the "Big Accomplishment" of our 11% approval rated Congress.

I can hear Pelosi shriek now: "WE gave you the RIGHT to breastfeed!"

I bet you all a diet coke this woman has a Lifetime Movie script already written.

While I'm sympathetic....I've seen what my wife needs to do with pumping, and the general inconvenience and discomfort.... There are ways around this. Waiting on taking the test, for one. Working with a female examiner and pumping during the test, for two. Shortening the time spent taking the test, for three. And that's just off the top of my head. Accomodations can be made, I'm sure.

Further, I'm not entirely sure that I'd want a doctor that would a) put herself into a position like this b) Not be able to figure a way out of it and c) Sue to get "special accomodations".

Exactly. It is simple. But she is full of entitlement and wants to make the media.

[television is just wrong]

she wants special treatment for being a female with child.
