A radical Democrat congresswoman has filed a new bill to force companies to fund 12 days of paid leave for their employees to kill their babies in abortions.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari, an Arizona Democrat, has introduced legislation that would require employers to provide up to 12 days of paid leave per year for workers to have abortions.
The Reproductive Healthcare Leave Act, H.R. 8158, is the centerpiece of Ansari’s three-bill “H.E.R. Agenda” (Healthy, Equity, Rights) package. It explicitly covers “pregnancy terminations,” which is a whitewashing of the term abortion, along with menstrual pain, miscarriages, menopause symptoms, endometriosis, IUD insertions, vasectomies, fertility treatments and biopsies.
The bill has 28 Democratic co-sponsors and no Republican support as virtually all Republican members of Congress oppose killing babies in abortions.
Ansari has tied the measure to her personal experience with debilitating menstrual pain – mixing legitimate medical issues for women with abortion.
“Pain related to periods, in particular, is something that I have dealt with for many, many years,” she said. “Women’s pain, whether from periods, from endometriosis, from the number of reproductive healthcare issues that exist, is severely underfunded and under-researched and therefore we don’t have many solutions.”
At a May 21 press conference marking Women’s Health Month, Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., defended the proposal, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who joined Ansari in introducing the bill, is also supportive.
The legislation has drawn endorsements from Planned Parenthood, the National Organization for Women and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which supports abortion.
The bill is not expected to advance in the current Congress.

Employers will not hire women of child beating years. Women can just use other leave.
Yep, Americans need to know why she wants you to kill its babies.
It’s hard to tell if people like that are monsters or demons. Either ways the result is the same, a child sacrifice.
PURE EVIL IS IN OUR COUNTRY
Surprising they’re not calling it “Reproductive Leave”—or even “Maternity Leave” . . .
So, they will deliberately get pregnant just they can get an extra 2 weeks of paid vacation every year.
That’s the way demonRATS think.
Demons.
Heard an author Kenneth Craycraft today who has a book Citizens Yet Strangers on the divisions in the US and among his Catholic faith people. He absurdly thinks Catholics shouldn’t tend toward either party despite as he admits, almost every issue makes the Dems look bad and the GOP look good. Patting the Biden and Pelosi types on the back and letting them have communion despite their promoting, funding and enabling all rights for abortion right up to birth.
There is no excuse for Catholics to vote Dem. They should be deeply ashamed and seek forgiveness.
People had better take the demonic seriously. Openings for the demonic spirits to enter our plane of existence from Dem women witches, ouija boards and curses are real.
A politician saying baby killing should be “safe, legal and rare” would be met with violence in the dem party of 2026.
Is being outrageous the only way some people can get attention? It’s incredible...stand in front of people and declare that you have always had to deal with menstrual pain and want a law to ??????? - I don’t know what! We waste too many precious brain cells trying to figure out what makes people tick!!
And it’s been in America for far too long.
I’d say they’re both monsters and demons.
That’s absolutely true.
These female dem politicians are sick M’fers.
Then they will wonder why they get paid less and have a hard time getting hired.
Women want paid time off for everything now.
For cryin’ out loud.
So, if I identify as a woman and go to a fat farm and shed belly fat, I get 12 days of paid leave?
Where do I sign up for this?
