We've seen the likes of Tesla, Citigroup, Amazon, and Yelp offer their employees some form of support or reimbursement to get an abortion within a certain distance from their home. While some people speculate that this is a move to save them more money in the end (after all, travel costs to get an abortion are much cheaper than maternity leave), many can't help but notice how eager these companies are to fall in line with the latest political and cultural trend: supporting abortion on demand at all costs.
