Citigroup hates babies.

The neo-fascist authoritarian right can go pound sand.

Republicans hate women.

Republicans don't murder women. Democrats kill babies.

 

[jbrownson0831]

No infants are being murdered.

Sure they are. You libs disrespect laws and life so much you make up excuses for the murder.

Republicans hate women

if that were true there would be no republican/conservative women. Repubs don't hate women. THey do hate the murder of the innocent.

Fascists are leftists Dimmer boy.

Republicans hate infant murderers.

Republicans hate citizens' rights and protected liberties.

This is a lie.

There is no such state and never has been. Birth markers the point individual rights.

yes. we all know that. But as i'm thinking here. it's illegal to take a minor across the state line for many reasons....and i'll bet the left if it suited them could find a way to prosecute someone doing what he posed as a question to think about. that is...if democrats cared about calling abortion what it is...murder of the innocent.

Republicans hate citizens' rights and protected liberties.

Murder is neither a right nor a protected liberty. Who hates law enforcement and supports defunding the police?

 

[jbrownson0831]

This is a lie.

The truth hurts

how could you get that so bassackwards without doing it on purpose?

 

[Concerned American]

This is a lie.

Nope, it isn't. Stopping a beating heart is MURDER, no matter how you whack jobs want to package it.

Dims are the Bizarro World in the old Superman comics.

where are they except in your head. The fascist authoritarianism is leftist. You shut down anyone you disagree with. You throw classics out of libraries and replace it with childkilling porn, your side physically attacks its opposition and has killed some. The left wants control over everything and your politicians have said it.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The truth hurts

You're a liar, like most on the neo-fascist authoritarian right.

Health Care is a Right, not a benefit. A healthy workforce is good for the economy. Animals kept in unsantitary conditions pass along infections. Properly cared for animals are healthy animals.

The Government does NOT have the right to decide unto itself how Company or Corporation spends money on the Healthy and Welfare of it's employee's

Yes. A healthy workforce is highly desirable. The US needs to catch up with other successful modern countries. One of the first things emerging nations invest in is education and health care.

You're a liar, like most on the neo-fascist authoritarian right.

Again, your recording is stuck...check the string you pull on your neck that gives the same baloney propaganda parrot response each time.
Fascists are leftists, even dumb Dimmers know that.

 

[surada]

Don't have to control them--they're not murderers. You? Maybe.

Sure you do. You're living in a bubble

It is hilarious how you libtards rail against corporate political contributions (Citizens United) but praise them when they spend money that support your political causes.

The real issue is the deductibility of corporate expenses for income tax purposes. This raises two questions: (1) Are out-of-state travel expenses for an otherwise illegal abortion a legitimate health benefit? and (2) Does this discriminate against other employees who are denied this benefit?

P.S. A criminal act depends on jurisdiction. If it was a legal act where it was committed, it can't be prosecuted somewhere else.

In a filing written for an April 26 meeting, Citigroup wrote: “In response to changes in reproductive health-care laws in certain states in the U.S., beginning in 2022 we provide travel benefits to facilitate access to adequate resources.”


Citigroup is not the only company with policies designed to assist employees seeking abortions who are living in restrictive states such as Texas.

In September 2021, Salesforce told employees the company would help them and their families relocate if they had issues with reproductive health care in their states.

Lyft CEO Logan Green announced the company would pay legal fees for any drivers sued under the Texas law for helping women get abortions.


The parent company of Tinder and OkCupid, Match Group Inc., announced it too was creating a fund for its Texas employees impacted by the abortion law.

In an internal note to employees, Shar Dubey, Match Group’s CEO, wrote that the company “doesn’t usually take political stands unless it is relevant to our business ... but this particular law is so regressive to the cause of women’s rights that I felt compelled to speak publicly about my personal views.”

She added: “ immigrated to America from India over 25 years ago and I have to say, as a Texas resident, I am shocked that I now live in a state where women’s reproductive laws are more regressive than most of the world, including India.”

Texas congressman threatens Citigroup over its pledge to pay for employees’ out-of-state abortions

In response to a mid-March announcement by Citigroup Inc. that it would begin covering travel expenses for its employees living in states that limited or nearly banned abortions, a Texas lawmaker has threatened to block the bank's ability to underwrite...

Hey Briscoe. These companies are going to make sure their employees can obtain abortion services, and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it. And the Supreme Court can’t help you either.

How does feel to be the impotent little wimp that you are?

So the company subsidizes its employees fucking like dogs. Sounds like a great business decision to me.
