Wade appears to have beenAmazon will reportedly reimburse employees for up to $4,000 in travel expenses for any medical treatments that can’t be obtained within 100 miles of the employee’s home, including reproductive health care treatments like abortions.as Republican-controlled states have passed restrictive laws curtailing the right to have an abortion.

would likely outlaw the practice. Even if Roe wasn’t overturned, it’s become increasingly difficult for people in Republican-dominantto obtain abortions and Amazon’s pledge will likely come as welcome news, given the fact that most Americans are pro-choice.

and I'm about to buy even less off amazon (never was a fan)

I am against the RvW repeal. It should stay at the federal level. Foremost: it should never be used as a flippant form of birth control. There are totally & absolutely valid reasons to use it! And, those reasons can happen in any state... not just Blue ones.

Dystopian that people will now have to rely on working at companies like Amazon for their reproductive health choices

let them unionize tho

Actually, gizy..... A decision by the SCOTUS would put the issue back where it should have been..... in the hands of the state. States rights, anyone?
