Yelp will reimburse employees who need to travel to access abortion services
VergeApr 13, 2022
On Tues., Yelp announced that they will offer financial assistance to employees and their spouses who need to travel out of state for abortion care.
Yelp joins companies including Bumble Inc., Match Group Inc., Apple and Levi Strauss & Co. in their expansion of reproductive healthcare provisions.
This marks Yelp as an advocator for female reproductive rights and gender equality. It's a positive step towards fighting back against draconian restrictions to healthcare access for women in the US.
States like Texas are moving to protect the unborn from current extreme pro-abortion laws. Yelp, along with other companies, shouldn't be undermining legislative progress in an attempt to push their pro-abortion agenda.
More needs to be done. While this is helpful to professional, white-collar women, those on low incomes, who often struggle to afford or access care, will be left behind.
