At least 50 signatories in an open letter say they are ‘devastated’ for those impacted by the U.S. Supreme Court recently overturning Roe v. Wade

A group of prominent women in Canada’s tech sector are calling for employers to pay for U.S. staff to travel to get abortions.

The women say the reversal is “a dangerous step toward oppression” and could lead to a further curtailing of rights that were long fought for. They also want companies to ensure health benefits can be accessed unconditionally, with dignity and privacy and employees are given paid time off or volunteer days to attend protests or support women fighting for rights.

Where has this open letter been published? Can we see it?

Yup all companies are willing to cut the cheque. Just be back in office by Monday morning.

Huh?

Roe Vs Wade overturned. The rights of unborn recognized. No women should die giving birth or suffer unwanted pregnancies from rape. Birth control was not the intend use of abortion. We encourage men to step up & care for the life they help create. God bless.

Historically, killing another tribe's babies was considered an act of war.

They should put condoms in the bathrooms at the job sites

Capitalist scum strike again. “Kill your baby and continue to make me money!”
