Pregnancy Discrimination
Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act,
passed by Congress in 1978, an employer
violates the law if it intentionally
discriminates against pregnant employees or
maintains a policy that adversely affects
pregnant employees. The PDA covers
pregnancy, childbirth or related medical
conditions, including abortion. We fight
pregnancy discrimination against women
and we protect fathers' rights to enforce
paternity leave entitlement, which is
guaranteed under the Family and Medical
Leave Act.
