Love Them Both Act of 2025
The Love Them Both Act of 2025 would block federal regulators from extending or applying any regulations that implement the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) to abortion or to abortion-related services and coverage. In practical terms, the bill would prohibit the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Board of Directors of the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing PWFA regulations if they pertain to abortion or abortion-related coverage. The bill does not repeal the PWFA itself, but constrains how its regulations can address abortion, keeping abortion out of the scope of PWFA-regulated accommodations or protections. The bill is titled the Love Them Both Act of 2025 and was introduced in the House on April 3, 2025 by Mrs. Miller of Illinois, with Mr. LaMalfa and Mr. Babin as co-sponsors. It directs that any regulatory actions under section 105 of the PWFA (codified at 42 U.S.C. 2000gg-3) cannot apply to abortion or abortion-related services or coverage.
