Judge halts federal agency enforcement of abortion rule in Louisiana and Mississippi

Reported 8 months ago

A federal judge granted temporary relief to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and employers in two Southern states from a federal rule requiring them to provide workplace accommodations for abortions. The lawsuits challenge the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's regulations stating that the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act covers abortion, with the judge enjoining the EEOC from enforcing the rule for the duration of the lawsuit. The rulings have sparked debates with concerns about women's rights and workplace accommodations.
