should catholic schools dismiss unwed women getting pregnant?

Ha ha ha. I was a victim of this nonsense, theocratic, semenal and equally oppressing insensibilities of these moralists. I was married through civil wedding and I was working with an NGO under the auspices of these infallable churches, they suspended me for a month waaa! They have no right to dismiss anyone under the labor laws of the Philippines without due cause and this case is not a cause for dismissal. No way! They have to tackle first their rank and trim down those laities, priests and nuns, pastors and ministers with high testosteronic levels. Magna Carta for Women gives women their needed protection and no church or religious organizations are exempted in this law. Civilians (I meant those who are not religious like priests, nuns, pastors and ministers) should be governed by laws of the land. They should hire their own priests, nuns, ministers and pastors if they will not follow civilian laws. Freewill is a gift from God and no church could deny that. Sorry for the rants and blasphemes, good day.

I have not read yet the new law on unmarried women getting pregnant and must be given the protection necessary for such a delicate situation. But I can understand the stand of the Catholic schools for asking for an exemption. A school is a venue for education and the highest discipline calls for a moral standard. If they allow such a case, more will follow. And moral decadence will follow suit. Students are in school to learn. Pregnancy can come later, when the students have grown up and married. As to the single women getting pregnant and they are working in a Catholic school, how good an example could they get. Young girls are impressionable. What they see amongst their elders, they imitate. Perhaps the law you are referring to was penned and passed by lawmakers who have multiple mistresses and innumerable children. Ooops, I might get into trouble. But let us open our eyes to the fact that they pass the law for their own purposes. When the law is in conflict with the fibers of society, what kind of law is it. Probably detrimental.

hi saluyot :) well, in all countries unwed women getting pregnant would be such a mess and a big problem regardless to the church and religion in my religion Islam ,unwed women must get married first then get pregnant to save and protect the child in coming years , I guess the catholic school should do that , coz all unwed women there are careless , and know nothing about child care, so they should stop the playing to protect coming kids and save their rights to have good parents !!

I think that catholic schools who dismisses women who are in this kind of situations should be penalized.. first of all, they should be doing what the bible teaches, but they are the first one who turn their heads against people who sin. Didn't the bible say that those who have not sinned should cast the first stone? have they not sinned? I mean, these women are the ones who need all the help that they need... including a good education for them and their children.

I remember when I was still in high school wherein one of the students was asked to take a leave of absence because she got pregnant. I believe the girl got back after she delivered the baby. I think that asking students who are in the same situation to take a leave of absence is a good thing to do. The students should be given counseling on what happened to her to give her proper guidance. Being a mother at an early age is not a good thing. Some become irresponsible mothers later on because they seek freedom thus neglecting their kids.

I think for a long time the people Jesus taught against have taken hold of the modern church. It is ruled and controlled by legalitic and law obssessed pharisees. Love has very little bearing as much as laws and rules and commandments.
