Fortune 100 Companies Expand Abortion Travel Coverage
A recent report highlights that over 40 top U.S. corporations cover abortion travel expenses, raising questions about corporate priorities on family policies.
- The report from the Ethics and Public Policy Center reveals that at least 42 Fortune 100 companies offer paid out-of-state travel for abortions.
- Many companies are criticized for prioritizing abortion travel coverage over comprehensive family benefits like adoption assistance.
- Critics argue that corporate support for abortion travel reflects a preference for financial optimization over supporting parenthood.
- Some corporations offer fertility treatments and surrogacy benefits, which are seen as encouraging employees to delay or forgo motherhood.
- The report suggests that corporate transparency regarding family benefits is often lacking, with many companies less forthcoming about their parental leave policies.
