Some firms expand health coverage after abortion ruling, others mum

Several top entertainment and technology companies with operations in Georgia said Friday they would move to expand employees’ access to abortion care in states where the procedure will be banned or curtailed after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.

But many of Georgia’s biggest employers declined to comment or were reticent to discuss their response to the polarizing ruling.

Entertainment giants with major Georgia operations, including Comcast, Disney, Meta, Netflix and CNN-owner Warner Bros. Discovery, each reportedly said Friday they would provide reimbursement for employees who live in states that ban abortion to travel out-of-state to access abortion services.

“We are immediately expanding our health care benefits options to include expenses for employees and their covered family members who need to travel to access a range of medical procedures, including care for abortions, family planning and reproductive health,” Adria Alpert Romm, Warner Bros. Discovery chief people and culture officer, said in an email to workers, including 5,000 based in Atlanta.
