A San Bernardino woman, Beth Arriaga, 21, has filed a $10-million lawsuit against Loma Linda University, claiming that she was improperly fired from her job as a library technician for the Seventh-day Adventist institution for getting pregnant. Arriaga, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, became pregnant in February, 1986, was fired in July and remains unmarried after having had a child last November. University officials maintain they simply were adhering to their religious tenets in firing an employee who engaged in extramarital sex.
