Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new employee right to unpaid leave specifically for reproductive losses including miscarriage, stillbirth, unsuccessful assisted reproduction, failed embryo transfer, and adoption dissolution. This expands workplace protections and accommodations related to abortion-adjacent and IVF-related pregnancy losses without imposing any new restrictions, bans, or limits on abortion access itself.
