US Bishops Back Bill to Protect Pregnant Workers as Some Warn It’s Paid Abortion Leave

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a bipartisan bill that promises protections for pregnant employees.

This legislation, the bishops say, will empower women rather than enable the destruction of the unborn in abortion. The current version being considered in the Senate explicitly states in its text that the legislation would not require employer-sponsored health plans to pay for certain things — such as abortion.
