BBC News published this video item, entitled “US firms pledge to pay staff travel expenses for abortions – BBC News” – below is their description.
Major companies including Disney, JP Morgan and Facebook owner Meta have told staff they will cover employee travel expenses for abortions, as millions of US women face restricted access.
It follows a landmark ruling by the US Supreme Court that overturned the constitutional right to abortion.
The judgement paves the way for individual states to ban the procedure.
But since the ruling a growing number of companies have confirmed they will cover travel costs through their health insurance plans for employees who leave their home state to get an abortion.
