b)         An employer shall treat women affected by a pregnancy condition the same for all employment-related purposes, including receipt of benefits under fringe benefit programs, as other job applicants or employees not so affected but similar in their ability or in ability to work, regardless of the source of the inability to work or employment classification or status.
