Without mentioning the word abortion, the Biden administration quickly created a new pro-abortion “benefit” for federal workers after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday.
Bloomberg reports that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management released a document Monday stating that federal employees can now use sick days if they or their family members need to travel for “medical care.”
The document does not mention abortion, but the Biden administration believes killing unborn babies in abortions is a “medical concern,” It released the new benefit right after the Supreme Court began allowing states to have unborn babies, By banning abortions again.
According to Bloomberg, the document states that federal employees who “find it necessary to travel longer distances, including out of state, to receive medical care” can use sick days.
If the leave is less than three days, the employee is not required to give a reason to his supervisor. If it is longer, the doctor’s apology “does not have to include details of the medical examination or treatment,” the report said.

This new document is clearly about elective abortions. In the rare instances where a mother’s life is in danger, abortion bans allow exceptions to save her life, so there is no need for a pregnant woman to travel out of the state.
On Friday, President Joe Biden called the U.S. Supreme Court decision “extreme” and “un-American”. He also pledged to work to keep abortions, especially abortion drugs, available “to the fullest extent possible.” Last year, Biden began allowing abortion drugs to be sold by mail without direct medical supervision.
Aborting unborn babies is not health care, and only 14 percent of OB-GYNs do abortions, according to a 2011 study in the journal “Obstetrics & Gynecology.” In addition, health data shows that nearly 99 percent of all abortions are for elective reasons.
Last year, medical groups representing more than 30,000 doctors urged the Supreme Court to overthrow Roe and protect unborn babies.
“In the nearly 50 years since the court erroneously ruled on Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, medical science has progressed significantly and increasingly supported the pro-life position,” they wrote. “It is time for our country’s law to catch up with advances in medical science and support the human rights of all our patients.”
Since Roe in 1973, more than 63 million unborn babies and hundreds of mothers have died in supposedly “safe” legal abortions. The infamous ruling forced states to legalize abortion for any reason until they were viable and allowed abortions for any reason up to birth.
In Friday’s landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health ruling, judges overturned Roe and allowed states to once again protect unborn babies from abortion. Ten have already done so, and more conditions are expected to enact pro-life laws in the coming weeks.
“We believe that Roe and Casey should be overruled. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of any state from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey have usurped that authority. We now reject those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Judge Samuel Alito wrote before the majority.
Texas and Oklahoma had banned abortions before Roe was destroyed, and Missouri became the first state after Roe to protect babies from abortion. South Dakota came in second, followed by Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Utah, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Alabama. Ultimately, as many as 26 states can swiftly ban abortions and protect babies from certain death for the first time in nearly 50 years.
Polls show that most Americans are pro-life and oppose what Roe did by allowing abortion on demand, up to birth, in some states.
