Title IX makes it illegal to discriminate because of sex, which includes discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, miscarriage, abortion, or related conditions, including recovery. Title IX also ensures the right for pregnant and postpartum students to get changes at school when needed, and to take medically necessary leave. The law bans harassment, intimidation, or other discrimination in schools because of pregnancy-related conditions.
