Each year, about 4 million American women become pregnant and decide to carry their pregnancies to term. Does the law see a woman differently once she becomes pregnant? While there are countless legal contexts in which a woman's pregnancy might change her legal position, this panel will focus on two that are particularly controversial. First, does her relationship with her employer change? Secondly, is she free choose or decline medical treatment in the same way she was before she became pregnant?
