Many leading corporations extend abortion travel coverage while being less transparent about their family-oriented benefits, according to a recent Ethics and Public Policy Center study.
The research reveals that 42 Fortune 100 corporations, including industry giants Walmart, Amazon, and Walt Disney, openly advertise coverage for out-of-state abortion travel expenses. However, only 22 of these companies publicly disclose their childcare benefit packages.
“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, the report’s co-author, said in a statement. “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.”

The findings suggest companies prefer covering abortion-related expenses, including substantial travel costs, as it proves more economical than providing maternity leave and childcare support. The report also warns that promoting fertility treatments like egg freezing and IVF might mislead female employees about their reproductive options, potentially causing them to delay parenthood only to discover these methods’ limitations later.
Notably, the study identified four companies offering abortion travel benefits without specifying any adoption assistance programs.
This is a first trimester abortion. It is just as evil & wicked as a late term abortion. It is equally seen as murder in the eyes of God as a 9 month abortion is.
Do not allow your conscience to become so seared that you look away from this.

“Transparency matters because it reveals whether companies offer support for parents and families,” the report reads. “Strikingly, the companies that offer the most robust family benefits and that are most transparent about those benefits are also more likely to have announced coverage for abortion and abortion-related travel expenses.”
