Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
Abstract
The article argues that the exclusion of pregnant women from clinical research constitutes sex discrimination. This exclusion, rooted in historical and regulatory factors, has led to a significant lack of data on how medications affect pregnant women, putting their health at risk. The author advocates for legislative action to shift the research culture from exclusion to inclusion, ensuring that pregnant women receive necessary medical treatments with proper research backing.
