  In civilized countries they are then temporarily given different assignments which they are able to perform more satisfactorily, or they go talk to their GP and are given part-time or full time paid sick leave.

    So then why can't the same be done for someone under the effects of a drug prescribed by a doctor? If you can fire someone for taking a drug to fix some ailment that they never choose to have due to the impact on their performance, then it would make sense that one could fire someone for choosing to become pregnant once it impacts their performance. Both or neither.

It is -- reasonable accommodation for temporary disability and mandatory medical leave for medical conditions (including those resulting from the requirements of treating some other condition) that can't be accommodated are typical requirements in civilized countries.

        This chain was in response to the person saying they should be able to fire someone for use of medically prescribe marijuana. I was asking for someone who agrees with that viewpoint to denote the difference.
