Before it went into effect, elective abortions were allowed up to 20 weeks gestation in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Buffer Insurance\u2019s approach stands in stark contrast to companies including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/apple\">Apple<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/uber\">Uber<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/amazon\">Amazon<\/a>, Citigroup, CVS Health, JP Morgan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/meta\">Meta<\/a> (Facebook), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/tesla\">Tesla<\/a>, Paramount, Patagonia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/microsoft\">Microsoft<\/a>, Paypal, Starbucks, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/disney\">Disney<\/a>, just to name a few. They\u2019ve all publicly committed to paying for employees and their dependents to travel to different states to get abortions if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods was one of the first companies to announce this type of policy, with CEO Lauren Hobart saying\u00a0 that the company is \u201cprepared to ensure that all of our teammates have consistent and safe access to the benefits we provide, regardless of the state in which they live,\u201d The Daily Wire originally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/here-are-the-woke-businesses-vowing-to-cover-travel-costs-for-employees-abortion-tourism\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn response to today\u2019s ruling, we are announcing that if a state one of our teammates lives in restricts access to abortion, DICK\u2019S Sporting Goods will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement to travel to the nearest location where that care is legally available,\u201d she shared. \u201cThis benefit will be provided to any teammate, spouse or dependent enrolled in our medical plan, along with one support person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Liberals are scrambling now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, which will mean individual states will have the power to enact their own abortion laws.<\/p>\n<p>In May, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested that companies should fund abortion travel because it\u2019s \u201cthe first time the court has taken back a freedom that was defined by precedent and respect for privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many companies are bowing to pressure from activists and employees, but some smaller operations such as Buffer Insurance are revising their benefits to provide more money for prospective parents rather than encouraging them to kill their offspring and get back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While many high-profile companies are offering employees money for abortion tourism in the wake of Roe v.
