H.R. 2644: Love Them Both Act of 2025

This bill, titled the Love Them Both Act of 2025, aims to specify the application of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act with respect to abortion and abortion-related services. The main provision of the bill is to prohibit the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing any regulations that would apply to abortion or the coverage of abortion or abortion-related services, as established under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

Key Provisions

• The bill seeks to clarify that any future regulations developed under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act shall not pertain to abortion or related services.
• This means that any protections or accommodations for pregnant workers, which might be generally applicable under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, would not extend to issues surrounding abortion.
• The bill explicitly limits the scope of the regulations of the EEOC and other related entities concerning abortion, ensuring those regulations are distinct from the rights granted to pregnant workers.

Background

The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act is designed to ensure that workers who are pregnant receive reasonable accommodations in the workplace. However, this bill aims to delineate what is excluded from this framework, particularly focusing on how it relates to abortion and its coverage.

Implications

The passage of this bill would likely modify the regulatory landscape for employers who must comply with the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, particularly regarding whether they must provide accommodations related to abortion services within that framework.
