travel expenses

Following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, major companies like Disney, Amazon, Meta, Paramount, Starbucks, Tesla, Yelp, Airbnb, and Netflix have said they will cover travel expenses related to abortion services for their employees, especially in states where they operate that have declared bans on such health services.

The Walt Disney Company announced in a letter signed by Paul Richardson, head of Human Resources for the company and the vice president of Benefits and Wellbeing, Pascale Thomas, that the company is committed to its employees, families and reproductive care.
