On the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v Wade, a number of top studios and entertainment giants — including Comcast, Disney, Netflix, Paramount, Warner Bros Discovery — vowed to pay travel expenses for employees looking to get abortions.
With the end of Roe v Wade, up to 14 states will quickly move to restrict abortions far more than they have for the last fifty years. And the ruling has spurred companies including Sony and Hollywood talent agencies WME, CAA, and UTA to inform employees that their expenses will be covered if they have to travel to a different state to get an abortion procedure.
Netflix, for instance, offers a $10,000 lifetime travel allowance for abortions, according to the company. Disney also offers such benefits.
Others acted to communicate with employees today. Immediately after the decision was handed down, for instance, Paramount chief Bob Bakish sent an email reassuring employees that they will be covered if they have to travel for their abortion procedure.
“Across the country, we have entered a moment of profound uncertainty. In the face of this uncertainty, we want to be very clear about what will not change at Paramount.” His email then highlighted company health policies, including the coverage of travel-related expenses “if the covered health service, such as abortion, is prohibited in your area,” Bakish wrote.

Well, we know where THEY stand.
Abortion-restricting states should enact legislation that makes those who facilitate the transportation for purposes of, and assistance in obtaining an abortion out of state, those individuals or companies or organizations will bear the FULL costs in the event of injury or damage to the mother. Further, the injured party may seek compensatory damages in court.
Florida should disallow it as a deductible ‘health expense’ for state tax purposes.

At what point do the shareholders revolt when stock prices keep dropping!
I hope no one posting to this forum is surprised at this.
Abortion will remain legal in the states run by liberals who have been whinging most about this decision.
I'm sure they do. I'm sure that many of Disney's top female executives themselves use abortion for contraceptives.
You can bet the dems will push legislature to cover abortion expenses in the near term.
I suspect the dems will want to pass nationwide abortion legislation but I am not sure how they could override state laws.
Their business model is: “We strive to piss off and insult our customers.”
I wonder if some women will get pregnant, just so they can get a free trip for an abortion? Our society really is that degenerate.
