Also on Friday, both Manulife Financial Corp. and Sun Life Financial Inc. shared with BNN Bloomberg that they would also cover medical travel for abortions with a companion.
“We also understand that access to reproductive healthcare is a deeply personal matter, and we believe our colleagues should have the opportunity to make the choices they feel are best for themselves and their families,” a Manulife spokesperson said in a statement to BNN Bloomberg over email.Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the question of whether abortions are legal will be left up to individual U.S. states.
“According to NAF’s research, about two-thirds of abortion seekers are unlikely to be able to travel to obtain abortion care without additional funding and support,” the statement said. BNN Bloomberg reached out to a dozen large, publicly-traded Canadian companies with significant U.S. operations to inquire if they planned to cover the cost for any female staff in the U.S. who will need to travel out of state for an abortion due to the Supreme Court’s ruling. The majority either declined to respond or didn’t provide specifics on new support being provided for employees.
Wow I hope they also expand benefits to fertility treatments
In the name of DIE, are they expanding in vitro and fertility coverage as well?
And yet those same companies will claw back dental and other health benefits from employees during collective agreements. And most still don't cover IVF treatment for women that wanna have kids. Crazy world we live in 🌎
