01 · The brief

This bill ("Love Them Both Act of 2025") prohibits the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights Board from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing any regulation under the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act that applies to abortion or to coverage of abortion or abortion-related services.

It is a narrow statutory restriction on agency regulatory action concerning abortion in the context of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

Passage30/100

Very narrow statutory restriction but on a high-salience, polarizing topic; low fiscal incentives and few compromise features reduce chances.

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrow operational restriction that clearly identifies the agencies and the specific regulatory actions it prohibits but provides limited implementation detail beyond that prohibition.
