SEC. 530. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WOMEN INVOLUNTARILY 
SEPARATED FROM THE ARMED FORCES DUE TO PREG-
NANCY OR PARENTHOOD. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) In June 1948, Congress enacted the Women’s Armed 
Services Integration Act of 1948, which formally authorized 
the appointment and enlistment of women in the regular compo-
nents of the Armed Forces. 
(2) With the expansion of the Armed Forces to include 
women, the possibility arose for the first time that members 
of the regular components of the Armed Forces could become 
pregnant. 
(3) The response to such possibilities and actualities was 
Executive Order 10240, signed by President Harry S. Truman 
in 1951, which granted the Armed Forces the authority to 
involuntarily separate or discharge a woman if she became 
pregnant, gave birth to a child, or became a parent by adoption 
or a stepparent.
H. R. 7776—180 
(4) The Armed Forces responded to the Executive order 
by systematically discharging any woman in the Armed Forces 
who became pregnant. 
(5) The Armed Forces were required to offer women who 
were involuntarily separated or discharged due to pregnancy 
the opportunity to request retention in the military. 
(6) The Armed Forces may not have provided required 
separation benefits, counseling, or assistance to the members 
of the Armed Forces who were separated or discharged due 
to pregnancy. 
(7) Thousands of members of the Armed Forces were invol-
untarily separated or discharged from the Armed Forces as 
a result of pregnancy. 
(8) Such involuntary separation or discharge from the 
Armed Forces on the basis of pregnancy was challenged in 
Federal district court by Stephanie Crawford in 1975, whose 
legal argument stated that this practice violated her constitu-
tional right to due process of law. 
(9) The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled 
in Stephanie Crawford’s favor in 1976 and found that Executive 
Order 10240 and any regulations relating to the Armed Forces 
that made separation or discharge mandatory due to pregnancy 
were unconstitutional. 
(10) By 1976, all regulations that permitted involuntary 
separation or discharge of a member of the Armed Forces 
because of pregnancy or any form of parenthood were rescinded. 
(11) Today, women comprise 17 percent of the Armed 
Forces, and many are parents, including 12 percent of whom 
are single parents. 
(12) While military parents face many hardships, today’s 
Armed Forces provide various lengths of paid family leave 
for mothers and fathers, for both birth and adoption of children. 
(b) SENSE
OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that 
women who served in the Armed Forces before February 23, 1976, 
should not have been involuntarily separated or discharged due 
to pregnancy or parenthood.
