, have said they will offer travel support to employees who seek abortion care. Disney is the second-highest donor, having given $927,359.81 to anti-abortion lawmakers in Florida since 2020. Comcast has donated $393,000, and AT&T has donated $159,000. Other companies that have donated to anti-abortion politicians in the state while offering paid abortion travel include NBC Universal, Verizon, Walgreens, and Zillow.
The abortion travel benefits come as several states banned abortions, with over 20 expected to follow suit. Since Texas’s Senate Bill 8 went into effect last fall, abortion care providers in surrounding states, and even as far as Oregon, have reported a drastic increase in patients from Texas. Organizers have already seen this number rise since bans have begun across the South and other pockets of the country.
Disney’s “family planning” benefit would be extended to any worker who cannot access care where they live, including “pregnancy-related decisions.” The company employs 195,000 people worldwide, including about 80,000 in Florida. Dick’s Sporting Goods, whose chairman has alsothousands of dollars to Republican lawmakers, said the company would provide $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement and that the benefit will be offered to any “teammate, spouse, or dependent” enrolled in their medical plan.
