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.

Those women need to secure their “healthcare” and get it paid for.

Where’s my tampons in the mens bathrooms??? When i get the manstrual cramps and bleed, them thar thin toilet paper don’t soak up much. Then I have soiled pants and all of the women in the office point at me and laugh. I’ve been discriminated and treated unfairly. A couple of million dollars would make me feel better though.

Employers will just stop hiring women, I know I would!

Now days there are plenty of what I call “pussymen” who are looking for secretarial/receptionist/etcetera jobs because their afraid of hard labor and have no technical/mechanical skills.

“How does this square in states where abortion is illegal?”

How do you think it squares? Are you under the illusion (delusion) that Biden, being controlled and directed by the Obama Marxist left, cares a whit about the US Constitution, USSC rulings re: stats rights and/or any rule of law?

It must be challenged, of course, but I’d just assign a dollar number to each employee, and let them go buy their own.
