The U.S. government, through a final rule issued by the Biden Labor Regulator, has mandated that employers must accommodate workers' needs related to abortions and contraception under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. This extension of the law, enforced by a federal agency, requires employers to provide necessary time off for abortion care. The Biden administration's inclusion of these provisions has sparked debate, with some critics accusing the administration of incorporating a pro-abortion agenda into labor regulations.
