I have  to ask - breastfeeding is a disability??>>
no, but you'll be happy to know that breastfeeding and pumping  moms and 
all Superheros will fall under the new administration's proactive  and forward 
thinking.... 
 
"Americans with Superabilities Act"
 
The ASA prohibits private employers, state and local governments,  
employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified  
individuals with superabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing,  
advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and  
privileges of employment.
 
An individual with a superability is a person who: 
    *   Has a physical or mental superability that  substantially enhances 
one or more major life activities;  
    *   Has a record of such an superability; or  
    *   Is regarded as having such an superability
A qualified employee or applicant with a superability is an individual who, 
 with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential 
functions of  the job in question. Reasonable accommodation may include, but is 
not limited  to 
    *   Making existing facilities used by employees readily accessible to 
and  usable by persons with superabilities.  
    *   Job restructuring, modifying work schedules, reassignment to a 
vacant  position;  
    *   Acquiring or modifying equipment or devices, adjusting or modifying 
 examinations, training materials, or policies.......
