As the abortion debate intensifies, some corporate activists are urging companies to take prompt action to adopt more favorable reproductive rights policies ahead of any action by the Supreme Court. "Right now, it's a ripple, but it will become a wave, and once Roe is overturned, it will become a tsunami," said Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a non-profit shareholder organization., some may be concerned about stepping into a political landmine, or angering certain constituents.
Companies for years have been insuring abortion, and changing their policies now is consistent with that, said Shelley Alpern, director of corporate engagement at Rhia Ventures, which invests in reproductive health-care solutions that empower women. "They should take action now to mitigate what's coming," she said.
Furthermore, company policies that pay for travel when it is required to receive health care are not limited to abortion, with Amazon among those noting coverage for travel related to many conditions, from cancer care to mental health and substance abuse, in cases where there is no medical option within a 100-mile radius of an employee's home.
I think it’s time for the big states who are Democratic to stop supplementing those radical states, as a result of this Roe vs Wade decision. Those Governors/senators should stop sending money to Mississippi, Alabama and the likes. They don’t like our politics but love our money
Satan Awaits YOU and it won’t be for just a day.
Why would a company that has employees on both sides of this issue take a stand? They will alienate either one side of their employees or the other in the process fracturing their own work force… No matter on where you stand It would be a mistake for a company to do so.
companies will be compelled to follow the law.
