Biden Issues Mandate Trying to Force Every Employer in America to Fund Abortions
The Biden administration issued a mandate today that would attempt to force every employer in America to fund abortions.
Proposed regulations the Biden administration announced Monday for implementing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act are coming under fire from pro-life advocates. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s proposed rule hijacks the bipartisan law, which does not address abortion, to impose an abortion mandate on virtually every employer in the country, including pro-life and Christian employers who oppose abortion.
The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act requires every employer in America to “reasonably accommodate” a worker’s “pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.”
But Biden is now proposing that “related medical conditions” include “termination of pregnancy, including via . . . abortion.”
If the mandate is implemented, it would require employers with more than 15 employees to create “reasonable accommodations” for their workers’ abortions, even if doing so violates their pro-life or religious beliefs.
The proposed rule will be formally published Friday, kicking off a 60-day period for pro-life and religious Americans to submit public comments to the administration to oppose this radically pro-abortion rule.

Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Julie Marie Blake opposes the rule and urges Americans to contact Congress to oppose it.
“Congress sought to help pregnant workers, not force employers to facilitate abortions,” she said. “The Biden administration is hijacking a bipartisan law that doesn’t even mention abortion to forcibly require every employer in America to provide ‘reasonable accommodations’ for their workers’ elective abortions.”
Blake added: “The administration’s unlawful proposal violates state laws protecting the unborn and employers’ pro-life and religious beliefs. The administration doesn’t have the legal authority to smuggle an abortion mandate into a transformational pro-life, pro-woman law. Alliance Defending Freedom stands ready to continue defending unborn lives and to oppose this egregious federal overreach.”
