Elon Musk’s Tesla to Cover Travel Costs for Employees Seeking Out-of-State Abortions
Breitbart ^ | May 7, 2022 | Alana Mastrangelo

Elon Musk’s Tesla is covering travel costs for employees who get out-of-state abortions, joining the ranks of several other companies that have introduced similar reimbursement policies in the wake of multiple states passing pro-life legislation.

Since 2021, Tesla has expanded its “Safety Net” program and health insurance offering to include “travel and lodging support for those who may need to seek healthcare services that are unavailable in their home state,” according to the company’s “Impact Report,” released Friday.

The electric car maker officially moved its corporate headquarters from California to Texas last year. In September 2021, the Lone Star state passed life-saving legislation, which bans most abortions at six weeks of pregnancy or when a fetal heartbeat is detected.

In September, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he believes “government should rarely impose its will upon the people, and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness.”

Great question. And, out-of-state, ACTUAL health care?

Abortion is a three-fer for these companies: credit for being “woke” ... employees who can be more devoted to the job because there fewer kids at home with the flu... and fewer dependents for whom they have to provide health-care benefits.

Be interesting to see if they supported expanding the power grid by a factor of 7 or so to power all the EVs or if they just thing EVs will magically run on the power grid that enviroweenies are already fighting to expand it or even allow it to exist.

Bonchie over at RedState, via Twitter, says repealing Roe vs Wade is a done deal. Otherwise, they wouldn't be putting the fences up and the Left mobilizing their shock troops.

We're about to be part of history folks.

So see jackals? There will still be plenty of ways for you to butcher your baby if Roe V Wade is overturned.

Doesn’t Tesla offer maternity leave?

Many people have a mix of beliefs and don’t really care what others think about that.

“...vacation to Devils Tower”

The parking lots there are very small.

Which is more expensive for a corporation, maternity leave or transportation for an abortion?

Time to face reality. Women are getting married and having kids in their 30’s now. They choose that and it’s a very popular thing for educated women. Generally the ones having babies earlier are migrants and welfare moms. Banning all abortion (except for those who can afford to drive out of state) is a bad policy— end up with more welfare moms and young educated women who won’t want to join the “GOP”. And GOP loses their majority and popularity nationwide.

I’m not sure that wanton child sacrifice maximizes personal happiness.
