> but won’t pay you more money if you decide to keep the baby.
It sounds like you think they should give people pay increases if they have children. Of course, they also offer parental leave, and arguably lose money every time one of their employees has a baby, so if that's what you want them to do, it makes no sense.
To be clear, I'm not proposing they have some nefarious economic purpose in paying employees to fly to get abortions. I think the companies genuinely view it as a healthcare benefit, and most of their employees genuinely feel that it should be a fundamental Federal right.
> Where are the people in tech that are fighting back against this?
Who would bother, aside from people with serious moral qualms about abortion?
Says who, based on what data?
I feel like it's pretty clear that most educated people in the US of working age are either centrist or left of center politically, and that, accordingly, for the most part, groups of educated people in the US tend to have a "liberal bias".
I don't see what basis there is to argue that these companies should not provide a perk that a significant percentage of its workforce wants. I also think the term "bias" is misplaced; there is no duty on the part of these companies to resist culturally skewing as their employees skew. We can speak of biased media because, ideally, journalists should be as objective as possible, but that logic doesn't apply to, e.g., Amazon.
So, great coincidence, I was coming back to this thread to ask you if you support mandatory vaccination.
Like I said, you desperately need to get out of the bassackwards fishbowl you’re swimming in. Go visit Europe. Go learn what a modern civilized society is like.
Anyhoo, back to my question: you demand mandatory vaccination, right?
A woman’s body is her property. A fetus is part of the woman’s body. Whatever medical procedure she does with her body is her right. And companies are willing to provide for her medical care.
