On October 31, 1978 the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which is an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, became law (Title VII, Sec 2000e.k). The intent of the amendment is to make it illegal for employers to discriminate against women for being pregnant or for reasons related to pregnancy. That means that if a pregnant woman can perform the duties of the job for which she is applying, or is already working, then conditions of employment are met and the pregnant woman must be considered equally among other employees or applicants.
