After the U.S. 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.

. 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.

Corporate America is increasingly being drawn from the political sidelines on the abortion issue in response to pressure from investors, customers and employees. Companies are also struggling to attract and retain talent, andHere are some of the prominent companies offering expanded assistance to staff in states curtailing abortion care.

"This ruling puts women's health in jeopardy, denies them their human rights, and threatens to dismantle the progress we've made toward gender equality in the workplaces since Roe," Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder of Yelp, said in a statement Friday.

"Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a human right. We are deeply troubled by the Supreme Court decision," the spokesperson said in a statement.Dating app company Match Group in October established a partnership with Planned Parenthood Los Angeles to provide abortion access for its Texas employees and their dependents.

"No matter where our teammates are on their family planning journey — from contraception and abortion coverage, to pregnancy and family-building support through fertility, surrogacy and adoption benefits — we are here to support their decisions," the statement reads.

It looks to me that it really doesn’t has to do with abortion. But I have rights.

Are they insane it was not made illegal it gives woman their choice back

The Trudeau government potentially tried to exploit a mass murder for political gain and an RCMP Commissioner may have acted with partisan interests and our media is focused on policy in another country? This is why Canadian don’t TRUST media..!!!

Cheaper than being off on maternity leave.

Someone in a basement did the math.

Lol paying for their employees to take a baby murdering vacation, do they have 10 paid sick days as well?

Swallowing prevents pregnancy. DeepThoughts

Gross 🤮

And that includes every labour union as well! Disgusting.

Cheaper to pay for an abortion than having an employee off on maternity/parental leave.

Of course they will. That will prevent them from having to pay for maternity leave and other benefits and they don’t lose an employee. This isn’t a good thing if you think it through.

They should cover purchase od condoms

What about the fascist state border guards ?

But all your previous headlines said it was now illegal? Where are they going?

States will add a law to prohibit abortion in another state or country

Why is this of any concern to your Canadian viewers?
