Media giants, including Disney, reaffirm financial support for those seeking abortions
Media giants have become the latest corporate titans to reaffirm financial support for abortion-seekers following Friday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
The entertainment goliath Disney assured employees Friday they would be able to afford a similar level of health care outside of their home area if they needed to travel to access health services, including family planning and pregnancy-related services, a Disney spokesperson told CNN.
Meanwhile, the cable and media giant Comcast said Friday that travel for abortion services is covered under a company-wide employee benefit. Under the policy, Comcast may pay each employee up to $4,000 per trip if the employee needs to travel to access a covered health care service. The coverage is capped at three trips and $10,000 per year, whichever comes first, but the benefit resets each year, meaning that employees who require follow-up health visits out-of-state could benefit substantially from the policy over multiple years, Comcast told CNN. The benefit applies to all Comcast and NBCUniversal employees, the company said, and the amount paid typically depends on the type of expense incurred.
And Warner Bros. Discovery — which owns CNN — said in a statement that it "immediately" expanded its benefits program on Friday following the court's ruling to cover abortion-related travel expenses.
"Warner Bros. Discovery is committed to offering our employees across the country access to consistent and comprehensive healthcare services," a company spokesperson told CNN. "In light of the Supreme Court's recent decision, we immediately expanded our healthcare benefits options to cover transportation expenses for employees and their covered family members who need to travel to access abortion and reproductive care."
Coalition of 83 prosecutors vow not to prosecute abortions
A coalition of 83 prosecutors collectively representing 87 million people from 28 states and territories have publicly vowed not to prosecute those seeking and performing abortions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s opinion clearing the way for bans and legal action.
The joint statement asserts that criminalizing abortion will not end the practice, but will inhibit safe procedures and inhibit those needing medical, social, and law enforcement help from seeking it.
“Prosecutors, police, and our medical partners cannot do our jobs when many victims and witnesses of crime or other emergencies are unwilling to work with us for fear that their private medical decisions will be criminalized,” the release states.
Where in the constitution does it say women have a right to a abortion . Here is a example for you , the constitution 2nd amendment says individuals have a right to bear arms . Constitution rights for a abortion , not in there .
... this Fox News reporter has a long history of trying to badger both Jenn Psaki and Jenn-Pierre with gotcha questions to try and make political points during a press briefing.
99% of the time he gets swatted down when confronted with factual responses.
I do not blame her for reaching a snapping point on the same day the Supreme Court took away a constitutional right of women in the USA seeking abortions.
... where in the constitution does it say a woman has a right to contraception? Where in the constitution does it say that a person has a right to own an AR-15?
... if you ever watch the White House press briefings, Peter Doocey is clearly badgering with wedge questions to try and force a misstatement and turn it into a cheap headline for the far right media.

Trying to get the truth out of a habitual liar is not badgering.

It doesn't say that at all! It first mentions a "well regulated militia". And then mentions " the people". It says NOTHING about individuals.
Actually all the decision did was return to the individual states the right to decide what their state want. It is a Constitutional Right of the states that has been returned to the states. Personally I wished that the Conservatives had first used Roe v Wade to shut down Planned Parenthood abortion clinics as they by their very existence were in direct violation of the right to privacy of pregnant women seeking an abortion. The Right to Privacy was the actually ruling of the original Roe v Wade decision.
It is about time the rest of the world starts to recognize that the unborn do have a right to life.
What about school children? I guess once they are born they just become collateral damage
