Google has told its workers in the U.S. that they will be allowed to move to another state without having to justify it following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade which removed the constitutional right to abortion.
But other companies who plan to help their workers travel across state lines in order to undergo terminations, may face the wrath of lawmakers who are threatening to introduce legislation to block or at least hinder such offers of support.
Fiona Cicconi, the company's HR Chief said the company's benefits plan and health insurance would cover 'out-of-state medical procedures

You ;realize, of course, that companies face a greater financial cost providing maternity leave than paying for an abortion trip?
Kinda like selling baby parts, idnit?

This is really a step too far. I believe that abortion is wrong but taking legal action to restrict citizens from traveling to a state for a service legal in that state is wrong as well.

Or, as an alternative, people can just practice birth control.

I consider myself to be very modestly liberal socially and fiscally conservative. I've voted a straight Republican ticket since 1984, but this is just wrong. It's one thing for a state to prohibit abortion on their own soil but something entirely different for the state to try to stop residents from going elsewhere to where it is legal. This is trying to claim ownership of the individual and it's this type of garbage that drove so many people into the arms of the left so many decades ago. If the right pushes this it will blow up in their faces and set back the cause of conservatism for decades. The thought of having to vote third party saddens me.

Hey, abortion is way, way cheaper than maternity leave, paternity leave, hospital bills, and post-natal care.

Unlike others, I rather like this provision in our Texas law. Why? Because it will drive half the loony-toon liberals OUT of Austin, Houston, Dallas, etc., to seek safe haven in the Blue, "Abortion-Sanctuary," States where Fetal-Butchery remains hallowed dogma. IOW, if you don't like it, LEAVE. That goes for you too Google.

I don't see why these corporations don't promote birth control more so abortions are not in demand? But on second thought, abortions are really "Bone of Contention", a rallying point. Something that the demoncrat shot callers use to motivate their drones.

It’s cheaper to pay for an abortion than to pay for maternity leave after birth.

I understand this. If you live in a state where gambling is not legal and you go to Vegas where it is. You will be arrested in your home state upon returning.
The Texas law will be ruled unconstitutional and the Supreme court will support the ruling.

I support this 100% because concealed carry isn’t honored by all states. If we can’t carry a concealed gun to protect ourselves when traveling out of state, a woman shouldn’t be able to kill her child out of state either.
You don’t get it both ways, these liberals want to reap the benefits of living in a red state whilst killing their child elsewhere. They’re skirting the laws so either live in a blue state where killing a baby is legal or make more responsible choices with your sex life.

This could be a real blessing for red states. The more that the loony left will leave, the better it is for the states.

If the left aborts their own children, horrible as that is, there will in time be many less leftists.

Insurance does not presently allow for crossing state lines. That was one of the proposals for reducing insurance costs, but I do not think it has happened. Then, states are saying they will pass laws restricting the right to do business in a state of any company that flouts the law against abortions. I hope the states do that. A civil war is brewing being the mandates and compulsory laws of the leftists, that are being imposed on the freedoms of individuals that do not want to live in a communist country. It is time for a confrontation. It is time to return to a federal republic so that the people can choose the laws of their states. Otherwise, there is not going to be a united states.

Nobody has to know why Suzie went to New York. Just go kill your baby and shut up about it. Women might think a bit more about one night stands and maybe use some birth control as well as he should so this trip would be unnecessary.

To #1 & these companies that are running scared/woke: I completely disagree with you. It's not an all-or-nothing situation; there are other options! Diaphragms, condoms, pills before AND after, implants, injections, vasectomies, tubal ligations, etc., etc.
It all gets back to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Most companies want people that exhibit they are/can be responsible, both professionally & personally!

Ha Ha. Hospitals will go broke, like they have in CA. You won't be ABLE to deliver a child, unless at home. We don't need any US babys, we're importing millions from Central America, and Haiti and Uganda and who knows where else in the world. So just go and die all you Anglos. Reconquista is coming.
Not sure how the Blue State Libs and collegiate overlords will think they'll survive and thrive, but from my observations, they really don't think about consequences.... Get GOOG to book you a moving van back to Kalifornia, or Chicago, or NYC. Go there and enjoy the filth & squalor, homeless shelters in your Westside neighborhoods, shootings and murderers not in jail more than 24 hours. But DON"T HAVE ANY KIDS - they'll be taught to be ignorant and know they are the wrong sex, whichever the 12 choices might be....

Sorry Texas, like Roe vs Wade, it will never hold up in court.
