Pregnant Woman Who Is Physically or Cognitively Challenged: Rights (Ethical and Legal Considerations): 4:

Physically disabled persons must have freedom of access to public buildings by means of ramps or handrails. A hospital cannot deny care to a person with a disability even though the disabling condition complicates treatment considerably, possibly requiring extra personnel and time. A woman with a disability has full rights to her child, so the baby cannot be taken from her at birth without her full consent. She cannot be forced to terminate a pregnancy or undergo sterilization unless that is her informed decision.
