Pregnancy discrimination in the workplace is illegal under California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), which applies to employers with five or more employees—much lower than the federal threshold of 15. California also offers up to four months of Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) and an additional 12 weeks of CFRA baby-bonding leave after PDL ends.

Dozens of pregnant women being turned away from ERs despite law
More than 100 pregnant women in medical distress who sought help from emergency rooms have been turned away or negligently treated since 2022. That's according to an Associated Press analysis of federal hospital investigations. In Texas, where doctors face up to 99 years in prison if convicted of performing an illegal abortion, medical experts worry the law is complicating decision-making around emergency care for pregnant women. The latest cases come from two women who say they were not treated for dangerous ectopic pregnancies when they sought help at two different emergency rooms in Texas. Both women lost parts of their reproductive system when the ectopic pregnancies ruptured.
