Microsoft to cover travel expenses of employees going for abortion
By MYBRANDBOOK
Microsoft Corp announced on Monday that it would extend its abortion and gender affirming care services for employees in the United States which will also include travel expense assistance.
Microsoft will "continue to do everything we can under the law to protect our employees' rights and support employees" in accessing critical healthcare, which includes services like abortion and gender-affirming care, in the United States, a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.
"This support is being extended to include travel expense assistance for these and other medical services where access to care is limited in availability in an employee's home geographic region."
Several other companies, including Yelp Inc, Citigroup, Levi Strauss & Co, and Amazon.com Inc, have already pledged to cover costs for American employees who need to travel out of state for an abortion.
However, a few major employers, such as Walmart Inc and Target Corp, have not weighed in since the leak to Politico last week of a Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn its 1973 decision legalizing abortion nationwide. The issue has gained urgency now that 31 states have introduced abortion bans this year.
