As the Supreme Court ponders the fate of Roe v. Wade in this country, states like Texas have already enacted abortion bans that prevent residents from getting the abortion care they need and encouraged people to snitch on people who get abortions. Unfortunately, some people have already been victimized by these new laws. But some companies are taking a stand to make sure that their employees get the care they need. Yelp has confirmed to Mic today to that it will cover the travel costs for its Texas employees who need abortions.
The online review site based in San Francisco, only has about 200 employees in Texas, but will extend coverage to employees in other states affected by abortion bans, the New York Times first reported. When the policy is enacted, employees will be able to apply for reimbursement for all costs — including travel costs — related to abortion care under their health insurance policy.
