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.
