A federal judge in Arkansas dismissed a lawsuit filed by 17 states challenging federal rules under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act that entitle workers to time off and other accommodations for abortions. The lawsuit argued that the regulations exceeded the scope of the 2022 bipartisan law, but the judge ruled that the states lacked standing. The rules, which also include accommodations for pregnancy, are set to go into effect soon, with another challenge in Louisiana pending. Advocates for the rules emphasize their importance in protecting pregnant and postpartum workers.
