Millions of women in more than 25 states face an abortion ban if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized the procedure nationwide. For many of those women, employers' benefit packages may be the only way they can soon afford a legal abortion.

Citigroup in March became one of the largest US companies to commit to covering employees' travel costs if they need to leave their state to seek an abortion.

"Efforts to further restrict or criminalize that access would have far-reaching consequences for the American workforce," the company told CNN Business in a statement. "Given what is at stake, business leaders need to make their voices heard and act to protect the health and well-being of our employees. That means protecting reproductive rights."

Lyft also said it would donate $1 million to Planned Parenthood "to ensure that transportation is never a barrier to healthcare access."The Dallas-based company that owns Match.com and several dating apps including Tinder, OkCupid and Hinge, also announced in September a fund to ensure its employees and their dependents would be able to seek reproductive care outside of Texas.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff tweeted at the time: "Ohana if you want to move we'll help you exit TX. Your choice." A representative for the San Francisco-based company said its employee health insurance already covers abortion care, but starting in May, Yelp will cover travel expenses for any US employees and their dependents who need to travel out of state to access abortion care.
