Here are some of the prominent companies offering expanded assistance to staff — and, in some cases, their dependents — in states curtailing abortion care.

After the Supreme Court ruled on Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade, corporate giants from a range of industries pledged to provide support and financial assistance for employees — and, in some cases, their dependents — seeking abortions in states that outlaw the procedure.

People are also reading… Millions of people seeking abortions could soon be forced to travel across state lines to access the procedure, adding to the cost of an already often expensive healthcare service. For many, employers' benefit packages may be the only way they can afford an abortion. Corporate America is increasingly being drawn from the political sidelines on the abortion issue in response to pressure from investors, customers and employees. Companies are also struggling to attract and retain talent, and worry about the impact these states' anti-abortion laws could have on their workers.

These companies will cover abortion travel expenses for employeesAfter Friday's high court decision to end federal abortion rights, a list of companies came out in support of women's healthcare saying they will cover abortion travel expenses. And some States are choosing to go the route of the Fugitive Slave Act. Insane. Leave it to corporate America to take care of their primarily White, middle-class, birthing person employees. Good for them, now those same men & women (because according to you guys men can also get pregnant) can have access to future abortions largely for convenience sake.
