After a year of attacks against reproductive rights, the Supreme Court overturned the law on June 24. Dozens of employers have pledged to cover the costs of abortion travel or care for their employees after the decision.
These employers are trying to join an already established network of activists, nonprofits, and other reproductive health and justice organizations who offer support to people seeking abortions around the country. The National Abortion Federation, Abortion Care Network, and the National Network of Abortion Funds help connect individuals to providers who can provide assistance, including a network of independent, community-based abortion providers
The announcements have also prompted justified concern about an employer's right to your personal health information.
Some experts say that employers should be prepared for legal backlash from state lawmakers and those who are against abortion. The 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act is one of the federal laws that other legal professionals claim will protect them from civil lawsuits. ERISA doesn't allow states to impose requirements related to health plans that are criminal.
Corporate tech and media giants have the resources and ability to take on legal risk beyond that of individuals seeking abortion care. Many of these businesses have contributed to harmful legislation that fails to protect the rights of those within the LGBTQ community.
