In red states, it’s open season on women’s rights.
[…]
Some companies are taking small steps to ease the burden on their employees living in states with these misogynist, reactionary laws. Yelp, for example, only has about 200 employees working in Texas, but will pay for them or their spouses to travel out of state for abortion care. Late last year, the company Salesforce announced that it will do the same. And Citigroup, which has some 8,000 workers in Texas, also said it will pay for them to leave to obtain abortions.”

Very good.

Let’s hope more private employers do the same for their employees living in repressive, authoritarian states.

Sure, cease all business with Red states.

In a week when you run out of food, fiber, and fuel don't come back whining.

Smaller less intrusive govt. my ass...This is total control of the population and their bodies a tyranny of revoking the liberties granted.

A woman may have a supposed right to abortion but she has no right for anyone else to provide it to her.

None of our rights are dependent on being provided anything from others.

Yes, there is and we see it every day in war zones and cops killing people for no good reason.

No we don't see that every day. There are on average fewer than 10 murders committed by cops on duty in the US each year.

There's something strange about this picture.

the hyde amendment, which has been around since the 70's ensures that federal dollars are not provided for abortion.

Irrelevant to this discussion.

That a woman has a supposed right to an abortion does not mean anyone is obligated to provide it to her.

Our rights are not dependent on the actions of others.

i thought you said provide it FOR her.... no one is obligated to provide it to her; what is irrelevant is you think anyone suggested that.

& there is no 'supposed' about it. do you have autonomy over yer body?

should you always when it comes to medical decisions?

"Healthcare Provider", "Abortion Provider"...

If a woman wants an abortion and it's not available lately she's free to travel to where it is available.

A woman may have a supposed right to abortion but she has no right for anyone else to provide it to her.

But those who wish to provide abortion for her have the right to do so.

Missouri bill would allow lawsuits against those who help women obtain abortions out of state

BY JONATHAN SHORMAN UPDATED MARCH 08, 2022 8:37 PM

Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman. The Arnold Republican introduced an anti-abortion bill modeled after a Texas law the U.S. Supreme Court allowed to go into effect. A Missouri lawmaker wants to stop residents from obtaining abortions outside the state by allowing lawsuits to be filed against anyone who helps them. Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, an Arnold Republican, has proposed a measure that would make performing an abortion on a Missouri resident — or helping a Missouri resident get one — illegal. Like a similar law in Texas, the prohibitions could only be enforced through lawsuits filed by citizens. State government would have no enforcement authority. The U.S. Supreme Court has, for now, allowed the Texas law to remain in effect while courts consider challenges to it. But Coleman’s measure goes further by asserting authority over what happens outside of Missouri.

Texas woman charged with murder after abortion​

A 26-year-old woman in Texas was arrested and charged with murder after what authorities claimed was a “self-induced abortion,” the Associated Press reported Saturday.
Lizelle Herrera was arrested Thursday and taken to the Starr County jail in Rio Grande City, along the Rio Grande and the country’s southern border with Mexico.

why was it self induced?

The Texas Abortion Law Creates a Kind of Bounty Hunter. Here’s How It Works.​

There is little precedent for the provision that deputizes ordinary citizens to enforce an effective ban on abortions — and offers them a financial incentive to do so.

The law establishes a kind of bounty system. If these vigilante plaintiffs are successful, the law allows them to collect cash judgments of $10,000 — and their legal fees — from those they sue. If they lose, they do not have to pay the defendants’ legal costs.

The Supreme Court declined to stop the legislation from taking effect, and so far, no one has brought a suit against an abortion provider because clinics in the state have chosen to abide by the law, which effectively bars abortions starting around the sixth week of pregnancy.
