Google tells employees they can 'relocate without justification' after Supreme Court ruling

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision which overturned federal protections of abortion rights, institutions and employers are scrambling to respond with new policies that will support women in their organizations who are seeking to terminate their pregnancies, but live in a state that has banned abortions. Google is one of them.

The Verge has obtained a staff-wide email from chief people officer Fiona Cicconi which informed employees of the verdict of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and that the company is ready to handle applications for relocation.

"To support Googlers and their dependents, our US benefits plan and health insurance covers out-of-state medical procedures that are not available where an employee lives and works," Cicconi wrote. "Googlers can also apply for relocation without justification, and those overseeing this process will be aware of the situation."

Abortion is currently permitted in 30 states though Republican-led state legislatures may propose new limitations or outright bans now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned.

1. This is a nice gesture but if they were really concerned about women's rights,

they would withdraw all operations from any states outlawing abortion. I know my area would love to host a google location. There are plenty of dead malls they could pick up for a song, raze, and build to suit. And my state is safe from the witch hunters because we literally hunted witches. We value women.
