Re: WTF?? Dick’s Sporting Goods offering $4,000 to pregnant women to get abortions!!
Snip...

DICK’S Sporting Goods announced it will offer up to $4,000 in travel expenses for employees who decide to terminate their pregnancies and must go out of state to do so, but will not say if the company also plans to reward pregnant employees who choose to have their babies rather than get an abortion.
 Quoting: Fugazi World


Now that's evil on multiple levels. Can you see the managers of these stores saying, we can't have our employees get pregnant and leave here. We have to pay leave or if they take off, they have to pay to train someone else. It's expensive to hire and train employees.

Let's offer them up to 4K in TRAVEL expenses (which would probably have to have receipts for all of the tickets and hotels to get reimbursed) and we won't lose that employee.

Back in the 70s (yeah I'm that old) I was a young worker and I heard my boss (who hired other young women too) say that the best employee was someone who was a devout Catholic, divorced woman with a hysterectomy. What a bastard. But somoene who will devote ALL their energies into the job and not the family...well who benefits from that?

You don't understand corporate AmeriKa....it's much cheaper to pay for an employee to have an abortion than to pay "family leave" time while she is off having a baby. Additionally, the savings are much greater in not having to add that additional human to the health benefits they have to pay.....it's all about the money, it's always about the money.

These businesses are shorted sighted. They are cutting their nose off to spite their face. They are penny wise but pound foolish. People with children spend more money on consumer goods and children are the next generation of workers and consumers. It would be in the long term interests of businesses for people to continue to have children. All businesses are thinking of is in the short term not the long term and that is what has led to businesses like Disney and Netflix to run into financial trouble. They were thinking of short term financial gains and not doing long term planning. Disney relies on people having kids since their products primarily appeal to children. Me as middle aged woman don't give a shit about amusement parks or comic book movies. That's for children and big overgrown nerdy men children.

Everybody knows Dick's cause pregnancies - it's only right they pay for the abortions...

All joking aside, if I were an employee I'd be asking if they'll pay for my childcare costs too?

Companies that are offering to pay travel expenses for employees to go get abortions don't care about women, they don't want to pay for maternity leave and deal with the absence while they are out - they just want their labor. Now go get that abortion and get back to work!

They're offering to pay for travel expenses not pay the women so they profit. You're intentionally disingenuous and, I hope you burn in fucking hell for it.
 Quoting: Mike6


Yes, OPs title is misleading, but that's a bit harsh, don't you think? It'd be one thing if Dick's were incentivizing women to get knocked up and aborted, but this is just adding a particular form of expense coverage to their employee health plan.
 Quoting: The Alkahest


You don’t think this will incentivize women to get knocked up then go on an all expense paid trip to abort their baby’s?

Go back to sleep.
 Quoting: Fugazi World


Especially when they travel to the abortion clinics in Hawaii.
