WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic Friday reversal of Roe v. Wade, which had established a “right to abortion” throughout all 50 states, the Biden administration appears to be allowing federal employees to take sick leave to travel for abortions.
In a list of frequently asked questions, the Biden administration’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) explained that federal employees may use sick leave to “cover necessary travel time” if they “find it necessary to travel longer distances, including out of state, to obtain medical care.”
The OPM also stated that employees are not required to give a reason for taking sick leave if they are absent from work for less than three days, Bloomberg noted. Meanwhile, if employees need longer than three days, the doctor’s note they provide “need not contain details regarding the medical examination or treatment” they received.
