The Department specifies that “termination of pregnancy” must be treated as “any other temporary disability,” and students must be given the same benefits- including academic leave. Pregnant students are also permitted to make up class work missed due to childbirth. Pregnant students retain specific rights that universities must abide by under Title IX guidance and must be allowed to participate fully in classes and extracurricular activities.
“othing in Title IX requires or prohibits any person or entity from providing or paying for any benefit or service related to an abortion, and nothing in Title IX permits a penalty to be imposed on any person because the person is seeking or has received any benefit or service related to a legal abortion,” the fact sheet reads. The fact sheet stipulates that schools cannot discriminate against students based on “pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy, or recovery.” While Title IX prohibits federally funded schools from discriminating against pregnant students, the Department of Education (DOEd) issued an October directive that included abortion as a “related condition.” The Biden administration attempted to leverage Title IX to concrete its pro-abortion agenda on Tuesday.
