Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. The ADA's overriding purpose is to provide a national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities. This article addresses the emerging relationship between pregnancy-related disabilities and the employment provisions of the ADA, set forth in title I of the Act. In view of the high percentage of women who will become pregnant and their potential need for workplace accommodations during and after pregnancy, it is crucial that health professionals understand the impact of the ADA's employment provisions.
1990年，美国国会通过了《美国残疾人法案》（ADA）。该法案的首要目的是提供一项全国性指令，以消除对残疾人的歧视。本文探讨了与怀孕相关的残疾与该法案第一章中规定的ADA就业条款之间的新关系。鉴于怀孕女性的比例很高，以及她们在孕期和产后可能需要工作场所的便利条件，卫生专业人员了解ADA就业条款的影响至关重要。
