Biden’s EEOC Says Employers Must Accommodate Workers’ Abortions
Breitbart ^ | April 18, 2024 | Katherine Hamilton

Posted on 04/19/2024 4:06:10 PM PDT by Morgana

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released a final rule on Monday including abortion in the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA).

The final rule dictates that, under the PWFA, employers with 15 or more employees must provide the same accommodations to workers who have abortions as those who have “limitations related to…pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.”

The PWFA passed with bipartisan support in 2022, and did not include language about abortion. Instead, the law was created to allow reasonable workplace accommodations for pregnant and postpartum mothers such as time off and flexible breaks, unless the accommodation would result in an undue hardship for the employer.

PWFA’s leading Republican cosponsor, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), said in a statement on Monday:

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act aims to assist pregnant mothers who remain in the workforce by choice or necessity as they bring their child to term and recover after childbirth. It defies common sense, and Congress’ intent, that EEOC continues to inject abortion into a law specifically aimed at promoting healthy childbirth.

“The Biden administration must enforce the law as passed by Congress, not how they wish it were passed. The decision to disregard the legislative process to promote a political agenda is shocking and illegal,” Cassidy added.

Isn’t it wonderful that you can declare yourself to be a devout Catholic and yet espouse the slaughter of countless babies and then get forgiveness at the end of your days and fly straight to Heaven?

Well, at least the employers don’t have to kill the babies themselves.

Were they on the clock when they got pregnant?
If not, then why should the employer have to pay to fix it?

I’m a man. If I can get pregnant,
I can have an abortion. Where’s my time off so I can get an abortion at a make believe facility, like my make believe pregnancy.

I believe you are talking about presumptuous sinning which is sinful on its own.

The result will be that it will result in fewer female hirees.

Abortion’s most determined backers are males concerned about possible child support.
