Corporations are facing increasing pressure to expand abortion coverage in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Walmart's health care plans now cover abortions "when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability,"Donna Morris, Walmart’s chief people officer, said the company will also start covering abortion-related travel costs for employees and covered family members if they are unable to obtain a legal abortion within 100 miles of where they live, CNBC reports.
Morris said that Walmart will also launch a fertility services center and offer $20,000 in financial support for adoptions, up from the previous $5,000.Previously, the Walmart employee handbook dictated that abortions were not covered "except when the health of the mother would be in danger if the fetus were carried to term, the fetus could not survive the birthing process, or death would be imminent after birth," CNBC notes.
