More Abortion Mandates

A few years ago, Congress passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). As the title clearly states, the legislation was meant to help pregnant women in the workforce.

 

It empowered the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to enforce the law by requiring employers to do everything possible to help ensure that pregnant female employees give birth to healthy babies.

 

So, employers were instructed to accommodate doctors’ appointments, offer temporary reassignments to less physically taxing jobs, or provide chairs so a pregnant woman didn’t have to stand on her feet all day.

 

Predictably, the Biden administration just released a new rule to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, forcing employers to accommodate abortions. It is perverting a law meant to ensure healthy babies by turning it into a club to ensure more abortions – the exact opposite of a healthy baby.

 

Rep. Virginia Foxx, chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, blasted the new regulations, saying, “The PWFA does not apply to abortions. The term ‘abortion’ is not once mentioned in the law. Instead of following congressional intent, the Biden administration is using the regulatory process to advance radical policy goals.” 

 

This is just another example of how progressives are obsessed with abortion and are pushing abortion every day and every way they can.

 

When they’re not warping our foreign policy and appeasing the death-worshipping Hamas wing of their movement, they are trying to turn America into a death-worshipping country where the number of abortions goes up year after year.
