Apparently, Scientology solved that pesky problem of maternity and child care leave by requiring female employees who became pregnant to get abortions -- even if they were married to other members of the cult.

In a California lawsuit filed January 20, 2009, Claire Headley accused Scientology of ordering her to have abortions:

Quote:
Plaintiff Headley worked for Defendants CSI and RTC for many years before her escape in 2005. During this time, Plaintiff became pregnant on two occasions. Plaintiff was ordered to terminate these pregnancies by forced abortions. Plaintiff is aware that this was a relatively common practice at Gold Base. Plaintiff has knowledge of approximately twenty other female employees ordered to have abortions.


The lawsuit makes various other claims against Scientology entities including violations of labor laws and human trafficking.

The text of the lawsuit can be found here and an analysis is here.

Great folks, aren't they.
