A federal judge in Arkansas has tossed out a legal challenge by 17 Republican-led states to a U.S. agency rule giving workers who had abortions the same legal protections as those who are pregnant or recently gave birth. U.S. District Judge D.P. Marshall in Little Rock, Arkansas said in a written ruling on Friday that the states lacked standing to sue over the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) rule, which takes effect on Tuesday, because the agency was unlikely to enforce it against them. Marshall in his decision said it was reasonable for the EEOC to include abortion as a related condition in the rule, and that the states' claim that the regulation would interfere with state bans on abortion was speculative.
