Tomorrow, the 5th Circuit will hear oral arguments in a case that could have far-reaching consequences for the rights of pregnant workers and democracy.

ABB President @inimai.bsky.social wrote about it for Slate:
An Attack on Pregnant Workers at the 5th Circuit Could Unleash Chaos Across the Country

The right's assault on women is here. With a different version of the EEOC, Trump can use employment laws as a stalking-horse to attack women's choices. My latest for @newsweek.com: www.newsweek.com/evidence-tha...
