The Pregnancy Discrimination Act is an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964. Discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related

governments. Title VII also applies to employment agencies and to labor
organizations, as well as to the federal government. Women who are pregnant or
affected by related conditions must be treated in the same manner as other
applicants or employees with similar abilities or limitations.
