RT Article T1 The abortion issue and Title VII employment discrimination: The microcosm of the law JF International journal of value-based management VO 3 IS 2 SP 113 OP 124 A1 Wyld, David C. A1 Cappel, Sam D. A1 McLaurin, James Reagan LA English PB Proquest YR 1990 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1801628815 AB This paper presents a discussion of a 1989 United States federal appeals court ruling in the case of Doe v. First National Bank. The case is the first ruling on the federal appellate level involving a claim of Title VII employment discrimination based upon alleged employer knowledge of and animus towards an employee who had undergone an abortion. Doe raises the ethical questions of how a highly charged, national social issue can be reduced to interpersonal dealings between a supervisor and her subordinate in the workplace. The facts of the case are presented in a chronological manner, followed by a discussion of both the court rulings in the case and the utility of employing this case as an excellent tool in the teaching of business ethics and society.
