The US company, “Google”, announced that it would allow its employees to move to other states that allow the right to abortion, after the Supreme Court’s decision to abolish the constitutional right to practice that act.
The company’s chief personnel officer, Fiona Ciccone, said in an internal letter to employees that “workers can apply for resettlement without justification or reasons,” and that those receiving applications will be “aware of the situation,” according to The Verge.
Ciccone also reminded workers that Google’s employee benefits plan covers medical procedures not available in the state in which they live and work.
In her email, the official considered that the Supreme Court’s decision “is a profound change for the country that deeply affects many of us, especially women,” noting that “everyone will respond to the decision in their own way, whether it is someone who wants space and time to adapt, speak up, or volunteer outside work, not wanting to discuss it at all, or something else entirely.”
According to an analysis published by The New York Times last month, the coming days and weeks may see 28 states ban or severely restrict access to abortions, most notably Texas.
