What abortion politics has to do with new rights for pregnant workers
Briefly

The law requires employers with at least 15 employees to accommodate workers who are pregnant with things like extra bathroom breaks, time off for prenatal appointments, a chair for sitting during a shift. It also says employers have to accommodate workers after they give birth.
The new rule EEOC put out to implement the law includes abortion in a lengthy list of 'related medical conditions,' along with everything from ectopic pregnancy to anxiety to varicose veins.
Political and religious groups that oppose abortion rights took notice of the inclusion of 'abortion' in the list.
