About this sermon
Last year, the Biden Administration was considering making a rule change to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the law that requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations, such as extra breaks for women who are pregnant. Now, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has just announced it's expanding the rules to include abortions. The EEOC claims the new rule, which goes into effect in mid-June, simply clarifies the provisions for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which became law last June after Congress passed it as part of a government spending package. But pro-life lawmakers who voted for it say the Biden Administration is simply trying to use it as a vehicle to make abortions available, even in states where they are not legal. Senator Bill Cassidy says, "We passed a bill with both Democrats and Republicans, it does not touch abortion; specifically said it did not touch abortion." Senator John Thune says, "You've got an administration that takes a very, very liberal view and clearly doesn't view human life; and innocent life isn't worthy of being protected and that's reflected in their policies." Democrats contend the law has been clear from the start and blame Republicans from trying to limit abortion access.
