Amazon, Meta & others to help women workers after US’ abortion ruling: See list

After the Supreme Court of the United States on Friday overturned the historic Roe v Wade verdict and outlawed abortion across the country, several of the US’ most-recognised brands said they will pay for abortion-related travel by female employees.

The list of companies that have come forward to defend women’s rights include tech giants Meta (formerly Facebook, Inc.), Intel and Microsoft, and all have extended coverage of ‘out-of-state medical care’ to include reproductive services.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest bank in the US, said it will pay for employees to travel to another state to obtain a legal abortion, Bloomberg said citing information sent to the bank’s staff members this month. This benefit will come into effect from July 1.
