After the Supreme Court ruled on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade, corporate giants from a range of industries pledged to provide support and financial assistance for employees - and, in some cases, their dependents - seeking abortions in states that outlaw the procedure.
The court's decision to roll back the nearly 50-year-old landmark ruling, which protected the federal, constitutional right to an abortion, is expected to transform the landscape of reproductive health in America, leaving abortion policy up to individual states and paving the way for numerous states to pass new abortion restrictions. As of Friday afternoon, state officials in at least seven states said that new abortion bans can now be enforced.
Millions of people seeking abortions could soon be forced to travel across state lines to access the procedure, adding to the cost of an already often expensive healthcare service. For many, employers' benefit packages may be the only way they can afford an abortion.
In response, corporations, some with headquarters or offices in Republican-controlled states, are taking action. Companies such as Citigroup, Salesforce and Match Group first promised financial support to employees seeking abortions in affected states after a draft version of the opinion leaked in May. Many more followed suit on Friday. Some, including Bumble and Lyft, also previously said they would donate to organizations that support women's rights, such as Planned Parenthood and Fund Texas Choice.

Good, I don’t have to boycott any companies that I do business with.
Or ever have with the slight exception of Microsoft.
Easy, 2-part fix.
1. All the anti-infanticide states should pass laws declaring all humans to be alive at conception and granting all humans in their state the full rights of citizenship.
2. In addition, make it a felony to attempt to take any citizen of that state out of the state as part of a plan to deprive said citizen of their right to life.
Wanna know why..Tucker said it best last night, corporations HATE families..for corporations, its much easier sending someone off to get an abortion than it is to pay for their maternity leave..just take a plane, kill your kid, and get your a@@ back to work
Mercenaries.
Same old same old
Simply the Woke companies Virtue Sharing.
After the newness wears off and they realize there is no mad rush of new customers, I would almost bet, this little
‘benefit’ quietly goes away.
IF it ever gets written into the benefits package
so what, employee benefits are a private matter
They don’t want to have the slaves distracted by a baby.
Insurrection!!!!
True, but it says it all about these companies.
Will it be counted as pay an will they have to pay everyone ,LOL
Well, in all fairness to the greedy CEOs, buying a plane ticket and giving them a week off to kill their baby is a hell of a lot cheaper than paying them family leave for six months.

Pure fantasy. There is no constitutional right to anyone's services and only an immoral leftist would believe such a thing. We have a constitutional right to bear arms but I have no right to be granted the services of any arms maker.
Companies pay taxes on their profits. These additional costs would reduce their profits, so yes it lessens their tax liability, because it reduces their profits even more.
Ergo, if you purchase from these companies, you pay for some bimbo getting an abortion. She boinks, you pay. Liberal life.
Accessories to murder.
Tucker Carlson has pointed that out.
They missed Amazon!🤔
Wait until the trannies start demanding travel expenses to an ‘abortion’ state. After all, trans-women ARE women in their minds. Get that started, and the companies will bring this nonsense to a halt.
I already don’t do business with any of these companies listed, so no loss as far as I’m concerned.
Or want?
