Trump vs. women

Alternet America -   The Trump administration is preparing to reverse workplace accommodations for women, according to seven people familiar with the plans. The changes would narrow protections under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, a 2022 law that guarantees accommodations like bathroom breaks and time off for prenatal appointments.

…. The administration is also considering religious exemptions that would allow employers to deny accommodations that conflict with their beliefs. A federal court in Louisiana has already ruled for Catholic organizations that didn’t want to accommodate workers seeking abortions, and the proposed changes would make it easier for other employers to follow suit.

The rollback would have the biggest impact in the 23 states where abortion is now banned or restricted. In those states, women often have to travel across state lines for the procedure, and current regulations require their employers to give them the time off.
