I think most of the medical conditions that lead to the need for AC could be concidered "a disability" . The definition under the law is:
"The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) defines a disabled person as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities."
I think for a woman, becoming pregnant is a normal day-to-day activity. (albeit a very special activity
lol)
Forcing women who are unlucky enough to suffer a condition that prevents them carrying out that "normal activity" to undergo the indignity of submitting to criminal record and Child Protection checks is both absurd and disgusting.
