Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires employers to provide 96 hours of paid leave per year that employees can use for reproductive health care including explicitly for 'termination of pregnancies' and related symptoms or procedures; this expands access to abortion by treating it as a covered use of paid leave equivalent to other medical needs, with no provisions that restrict abortion.
