One Texas-based insurance company has committed to paying the medical costs for employees who choose to have children in wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last Friday.
Buffer Insurance, based out of Southlake, Texas, announced it would provide maternity and paternity paid leave for employees, in addition to helping cover medical costs related to giving birth and adopting children.
DISNEY, JPMORGAN AND OTHER CORPORATIONS PLEDGE TO COVER ABORTION-TRAVEL COSTS
“Secular companies are paying for the travel costs for employees to abort babies out-of-state,” the company wrote on Facebook Monday. “Today we are announcing that Buffer will pay for costs for our employees who birth babies.”
The company, which offers medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, among other services, also stated it would pay for the “costs associated” with the adoption of a new baby for employees.
The announcement comes as several companies vowed to cover employees’ costs of abortion-related travel, including Walt Disney Company, JPMorgan Chase, Netflix, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and more.
Netflix said it would offer a $10,000 lifetime allowance per employee for abortion-related travel, in addition to providing travel benefits related to cancer treatment, gender reassignment surgery, and transplants.
