Can my employer treat me like this?

I was 8 weeks pregnant and miscarried my child. My miscarriage was not normal I bled heavily and ended up needing a surgery to control the bleeding. I spent 3 days in the hospital 2 of which fell on the weekend all in total I missed 4 days of work. When I returned to work I went to our H.R. manager because in our handbook it states 3 days of paid bereavement are given to all employees with the company for at least one year for loss of: and then states all eligible immediate family. Son/Daughter is on this list so I requested bereavement pay. The president of my company declined to pay me and also made the statement that he was not paying bereavement because it is like those that fight for abortion, you may abort up until the second trimester so is it or is it not a child. I believe just because of the way it is worded in the handbook that he would have to pay me the bereavement because I meet the guidelines and then change it in the handbook for future employees. Am I correct? Also, In his e-mail (which I printed and took with me before I walked out) he made the statement that if I can't read the writing on the wall how we have had to cut back hours, lay people off, and try to deal with the current economic crisis and if I'm willing to fight it then do what I need to. I was upset and angry I have had to deal with the loss of my child and now the loss of my wages, so I went to my immediate supervisor and told him I couldn't do it any longer, I also made the statement this isn't right and there is no compion for the people who work here. My supervisor's exact words were "You just need to get over it" at this point I swiped my time card and walked out. Is there anything I can do?? You can't treat employees like this especially after something so traumatizing. HELP!
