Major U.S. companies, including Meta and JPMorgan Chase said they will cover travel costs for employees who seek legal abortions outside their home state after the Supreme Court released a ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.

A spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of Facebook, confirmed to ABC News that it plans to offer similar coverage of travel expenses for some employees seeking abortion.

Meanwhile, rideshare companies Lyft and Uber have vowed to provide legal support for drivers if they face lawsuits for driving passengers to get an abortion. "We recognize people feel passionately about this topic — and that there are teammates and athletes who will not agree with this decision," Hobart said in a statement. "However, we also recognize that decisions involving health and families are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration.", a 1973 decision that guaranteed a constitutional right to an abortion. In the opinion, Justice Samuel Alito called Roe "egregiously wrong from the start.

"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 workplace since Roe," Stoppelman said in a statement shared with ABC News.

Once again private companies step up to fill in gaps created by the Republican party. The Republicans don't think healthcare is a right, but they do think controlling your body is their right alone. You have no say.

So they would rather help murder babies instead of helping a woman who struggles to keep hers!

Will they also stop donating to GOP candidates who supported this endeavor in the 1st place? The list of companies supporting GOP candidates who help them get away with a lot and the ones supporting travel costs overlap. Like the ones who have rainbows up until Thursday.

Accomplices in murder? Will the companies be held to account?
