When the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade three years ago, and abortion rights laws once again became state-level concerns, corporate America stepped up.
Dobbs triggered bans in several states led by Republican lawmakers who oppose abortion. But companies with employees scattered across the country decided that workers in Texas or Arkansas, where abortion bans immediately took hold, deserved access to the same health care options as their peers in New York or Oregon. As such, Google, Citi, Levi’s, Netflix, Apple, and others created benefits or expanded existing perks so that if an employee needed to travel out of state for an abortion, some or all of the costs of expenses like transportation, fuel, lodging, meals, and child care would be covered.
