I am surprised and very disappointed to hear this. I understood their gun issue but this is a different donkey.
This is problematic. I’m no fan of abortion; but a business already has to cover health insurance for pregnancy and offer many weeks of pregnancy leave and pay the employee for at least part of it.
If.
Sounds like discrimination based on medical conditions. Illegal in many states.
Dicks has been off my list for long time. I would not buy so much as a pair of socks at the place.
Sounds like lawsuit territory. Men should sue for their “right” to that money for abortions. Then let the whole trans craze come crashing down on them.
Stay away from Dicks.
I shop at Cabela’s ... because they aren’t Dicks.
6-3 to uphold the Missouri late-term abortion ban.
5-4 to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Roberts is a weasel. As usual.
Actually, it was Roberts that didn’t sign with the majority not Thomas.
a stiff dick has no conscience...
I took time to read it myself. I now agree with you.

P. 8 (of the pdf file) says "ALITO, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which THOMAS, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., and KAVANAUGH, J., filed concurring opinions. ROBERTS, C. J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., filed a dissenting opinion." That's 6 for overturning Roe, but Roberts (as part of the 6) didn't sign the majority opinion.
Thomas' opinion p. 117. He wrote a lot about "substantial due process" being a made-up construct, that only due process is a constitutional right. Basically, he said quit making up "rights" out of thin air.
Kavanaugh p. 124. He wrote against the view that some pro-lifers have that the Constitution has a right to life. Like Thomas and the others in the majority he's saying that abortion is a states' rights issue. Unlike Thomas, instead of worrying about the left using "substantial due process", he seemed to worry about the right saying the Constitution guarantees pro-life.
Roberts p. 136. He concurred (making it 6 justices for overturning Roe) but added much language saying he supports states blocking abortion a little, as long as they allow it within a reasonable timeframe (maybe 1st trimester). So technically he's a 6th justice for overturning Roe, but he wrote a bunch of pro-choice language.
The 3 dissenters on p. 148 (Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan).
