=No change to abortion accessmodel confidence 60%
Provides paid family leave for bereavement due to fetal death or still birth, which implicitly recognizes fetal loss as a qualifying event for benefits without imposing gestational limits or other abortion regulations.
In the event that the claimant is eligible for family leave due to bereavement, a fetal death certificate, certificate of still birth, or death certificate shall serve as proof of need of leave.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends paid family leave provisions to explicitly include bereavement leave for fetal death, stillbirth, or non-viable infants, expanding benefits in the context of pregnancy loss but without addressing abortion access, bans, funding, or personhood in a way that alters legal abortion rights.
