Microsoft Will Assist U.S. Employees With Abortion-related Travel Expenses

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced on Monday that it would extend its abortion and gender affirming care services for workers in the United States to include travel expense support.


Several firms, including Yelp (NYSE:YELP) Inc, Citigroup (NYSE:C), Levi Strauss & Co (NYSE:LEVI), and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), have already agreed to reimburse expenses for American employees who must go out of state for an abortion.


Walmart (NYSE:WMT) Inc and Target Corp (NYSE:TGT) have not commented since the disclosure to Politico last week of a Supreme Court draft judgment that might reverse its 1973 decision allowing abortion nationally.


According to a policy analysis by the research organization Guttmacher Institute, the issue has become more urgent now that 31 states have adopted abortion bans this year.


Microsoft will "continue to do everything we can within the law to safeguard our employees' rights and support them" in obtaining crucial healthcare, including abortion and gender-affirming care, in the United States, according to a Microsoft spokesperson's statement to Reuters.


This support is being expanded to cover travel expenses for these and other medical treatments when access to care is limited in the employee's home region.
