17 y.o. pregnant woman fights to stay on HS Volleyball team

I'm not one to believe pregnant teens should be shunned, made to go to special schools or anything, but this is ridiculous.

17 years old, pregnant, and wanting to continue to play on her high school's volleyball team?

Excercise can be great for pregnancy, but not contact sports or ones that involve diving on the floor or the possibility of getting a spiked ball to the stomach.

I feel for the school and coach. If she'd been allowed to play and hurt the baby or miscarried, they would've sued. But by keeping her from playing they're likely going to get sued anyway.
