Key Points

  • This bill would stop the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from finalizing or enforcing workplace pregnancy rules that treat abortion as a covered issue.
  • It would also stop the office that sets workplace rights for Congress from applying those same kinds of rules to abortion-related services.
  • If this became law, workers seeking pregnancy-related job changes could still ask for help, but the rules could not be used to require abortion-related accommodations or coverage.
  • Employers and workplace managers would face fewer requirements tied to abortion under these pregnancy fairness rules, depending on how the final rules would have been written.
  • The bill is sponsored by Rep. Miller of Illinois and others, and would only take effect if Congress passes it and it becomes law.
