GE Wins Insurance Case in Court Supreme Court upholds pregnancy exclusion
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that employers may exclude pregnancy from disability insurance without violating the Civil Rights Act. Justice Rehnquist said such a plan removes a condition, not a gender-based exclusion. GE victory stemmed from a 1974 ruling on state disability plans and equal protection in Richmond, Virginia, and other locations.
