1. She IS hot

2. "Herx says the school's priest called her a "grave, immoral sinner" and told her she should have kept mum about her fertility treatments because some things are "better left between the individual and God," the complaint said."

But no, you do the punishing for god because his smiter must be at the shop for repairs. Control freaks.

Freaking religions....

BurnShrike: I'd hit it so hard and so often there's no way she'd have to use IVF.

So you would hit it like the fist of an angry god?

I wish her luck on her lawsuit, but the pessimist in me doesn't have high hopes.

How can anyone with a conscience still be Catholic? The church has gone utterly and completely mad

/I don't get it

Yeap, religion sure us a positive thing for this planet. They sure showed that whore.

I'm afraid the only solution is for people to just stop working for anything involved with the Catholic Church.

Its sad, because they do some really good and important charity work around the world. But if they are going to be complete d-bags about stuff like this, then they don't deserve the workers they have.

stpauler: Eleven days later, Herx said, she was notified that her contract at the school would not be renewed because of "improprieties related to church teachings or law."

Is a non-renewal of a contract the same as being fired?

/Also, don't work for a bigoted institution, dumbass.

It's the polite way in schools to say you are fired so the next place you go to you don't have to explain being fired.

Thank God we don't have to worry about government bureaucrats getting between you and your doctor when we have priests that can do it instead.

DozeNutz: She is butthurt that she lost her job, and is now making a scene about her getting fired over this. I bet her lawyer is a moron telling her she has a case when she doesn't. She should have known that she would lose her job over this, its pretty clear what the church thinks of stuff like this. But hey, keep reaffirming the 1st amendment, its a good thing.

Do you know how many Catholics use birth control even though it's not allowed? She should sue, if the only way they can have a baby is by IVF then so be it. I'm sure you are just a troll but whatever. So God is saying she shouldn't have a baby yet Octomom can have 14.

So, if I have this correct...

The Catholic Church is upset with a woman having a child without having had sex?

LOL

Also:

And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.

During the meeting, Herx says Kuzmich told her that it would have been better if she hadn't said anything about the treatments because they could cause a scandal.


Well you farked that one up Herx.

It's amazing how theose in charge of a religion are all that's wrong with the religion.

Herx says the school's priest called her a "grave, immoral sinner" and told her she should have kept mum about her fertility treatments because some things are "better left between the individual and God," the complaint said.

The story is beautiful in its irony. They didn't care she got treatments. They cared that she talked about them. (Mistake #1: punishing an employee for doing the right thing and giving full disclosure).

Now it's a lawsuit and even more people know about it, and are questioning the decision. (Mistake #2: If you want to keep something quiet, keep it quiet.)

Did anybody else have to sit through a minute of commercials to watch the video? Luckily there were already a lot of comments to read so I could do something else while the ads played on mute on the other tab.

I'm only a lawyer on the Internet, but doesn't this ruling pretty much doom her lawsuit?

It's the same thing as contraception, the Catholic Church wants to be able to impose its beliefs on everyone, regardless of what their religion is. But don't you dare try to impose your beliefs on them, that's outrageous!

Most likely, from what I read:
She wanted to take paid medical leave for the treatments. Like most businesses, you need a note/documentation from your doctor to do this. So you can't take medical leave and NOT tell them what it's for.

i'm hot for teacher.

BurnShrike: Gratch: What does the 1st amendment have to do with this?

Isn't the 1st amendment the one that guarantees you the right to free snatch?

freaking canuck, acting like you understand america's bill of rights.

/it's the one that allows you slice the dick off your baby.

THIS

ConConHead: IVF is expensive. It's probably more about the OMG WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS? than anything else.

You think the Catholic school was paying for the IVF? I love making up facts too!

Satanic_Hamster: Most likely, from what I read:

Where did you read it was a paid medical leave? I mean, it might have been but I didn't see that anywhere.
