  1. From Chicago columnist John Kass:
    “Corporations are now offering benefits of thousands of dollars to pregnant women employees who have abortions. A child can get in the way…. When compared to the lifetime cost of healthcare for a child, and dealing with the administrative headaches of work-related child care issues, of parents taking time off to tend a child who becomes ill, it’s all so much cheaper, is it not? Spending four or five thousand dollars in travel bonuses to women so they can travel to have abortions is much much cheaper than lifetime health care. This is what corporations call family friendly. They just get rid of what’s in the way to maximize profit and efficiency.” – John Kass

    1. Yet Indiana legislators, when presented with the opportunity to pass a bill mandating businesses give pregnancy accommodations for women … instead passed a bill that doesn’t actually mandate any accommodations, it just says they’re allowed to ask and won’t be fired for asking.

      Again, it’s one thing to be anti-abortion. It’s another to be pro-life. Lot of folks who claimed to be the latter will be exposed as just the former in the next few weeks.

  2. Has anyone looked to see where these corporations are headquartered that
    are offering travel expenses for an abortion

    I saw a list a couple of days ago. The bulk of them were in the San Francisco,
    Seattle areas and a couple out of NYC.
