]]> This bill would codify abortion as a civil right in Michigan and require employers to pay for the procedures.

S.B. 147 amends the Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act by changing the definition of “sex” to include elective abortion. This change makes it illegal to discriminate against an employee for pregnancy, childbirth, or elective abortions, and forces employers to treat pregnancy, childbirth, and abortion equally for the purposes of employer benefits including health insurance, paid leave, and work accommodations. There is no religious or conscience exception to this bill.
