ALT At the core of Athletes Unlimited is the belief that athletes should have control of their careers on and off the field, and a voice in decisions -- large and small that affect them. AU's pregnancy policy is premised on this belief -- athletes know what they're capable of and what's right for them. All women should have the same rights to be decision-makers on issues that affect them, especially in matters that have as profound an impact on their lives as pregnancy. The Supreme Court's decision negates the rights of women to control their own bodies, and such is counter to Athletes Unlimited's core values. We do not claim to speak on behalf of all our athletes, some of whom may have different views, but as an organization we will always stand with the rights of our athletes to make these essential decisions for themselves.
