GOP lawmakers urge court to remove Biden-era abortion accommodations mandate
GOP lawmakers are urging the Fifth Circuit Court to remove a Biden-era mandate related to abortion accommodations under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. They argue that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's interpretation of the law improperly expands its scope to include mandatory abortion accommodations for all employers. The lawmakers contend that this interpretation violates the original intent of the law and infringes on the conscience rights of religious organizations.
