Facebook owner Meta will reimburse travel expenses for employees seeking out-of-state reproductive care, but the company was also “assessing how best to do so given the legal complexities involved,” according to a spokesperson. The Meta spokesperson declined to comment on internal policy when asked about the reports of limiting internal discussion.Dick’s Sporting Goods DKS.N Chief Executive Lauren Hobart said on LinkedIn that the company would pay up to $4,000 in travel for employees or their family members and a support person if abortion was not available nearby.
Ride hailing company Lyft LYFT.O said it would legally shield drivers in abortion cases, saying it would expand a recent policy as new state laws were passed. “No driver should have to ask a rider where they are going and why,” a spokesperson said.
