Send us a textJoin Chuck and John as they take a trip back to June of 2023 to revisit the case of Geduldig v. Aiello – the ORIGINAL pregnancy Supreme Court case. Sylvia Aiello, was a pregnant woman who sought disability benefits under the California State Disability Insurance program. However, the program excluded coverage for pregnancy-related disabilities. Aiello argued that this exclusion violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The state, represented by Michael N. Geduldig, defended the exclusion, stating that pregnancy was not a “disability” covered under the program and that the program treated men and women equally.
