 In 1976 "General Electric v. Gilbert", 429 U.S. 125, set a similar precedent for private insurance through an employer.The uproar from these two decisions appears to have directly fueled the creation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act by Congress.In 2009 the Supreme Court again addressed pregnancy discrimination with their ruling in "AT&T Corp. v. Hulteen" that held that maternity leave taken before the passage of the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act cannot be considered in calculating employee pension benefits, therefore essentially implying that the Pregnancy Discrimination Act is not retroactive.
