From [HERE] Nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies offer paid out-of-state travel for abortions, and many encourage options like egg freezing and in vitro fertilization in order to financially optimize their female employees.

A report from the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) shows that while some pro-family policies have been adopted at top corporations, the balance weighs heavily in favor of delaying or destroying families.

“In addition to offering praiseworthy parental-leave policies and assistance with the costs of adoption or child care, a significant number of these corporations have simultaneously begun promoting and incentivizing options such as surrogacy, in vitro fertilization, egg freezing, and travel for abortions — options that encourage female employees in particular to postpone or even forego motherhood in order to advance in their careers,” Alexandra DeSanctis, co-author of the study, told The Federalist. “Real support for women in the workplace would prioritize reincorporating female employees who have left the workforce for a time to care for children, offering greater flexibility to working fathers so they can be more present to their families, and making as much room as possible for mothers to take on flexible part-time or remote work.”

According to the report, at least 42 Fortune 100 companies have publicly touted their offer to pay for out-of-state abortion travel; two others “strongly suggest” they have the coverage. The report noted that not all companies are transparent with their offerings, and that the total number is “probably an undercount as coverage for abortion travel expenses is likely to become standard in many health-care plans” under general provisions.

The report notes that while companies might offer full coverage for abortion and travel, it will only offer a percentage of the cost for things like adoption. [MORE]
