Businesses hoping to use reproductive health benefits as part of efforts to recruit and retain employees would have to be careful not to run afoul of laws should states be allowed to ban abortions.

Corporate America is facing a flurry of questions about how it provides health benefits in the wake of a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft that indicates the federal right to abortion could be overturned."It's a serious issue for employers," said Candice Sherman, the CEO of the Northeast Business Group on Health. The group represents roughly 80 large companies such as American Express, Colgate, Moderna and Pfizer.

But many others are still on the sidelines as they tease out employees' priorities on abortion-related benefits, as well as the potential costs and legal risks. "There's a question as to whether providing transportation benefits could be construed, or at least alleged by the states in enforcement, as aiding and abetting," said Garrett Hohimer, director of policy and advocacy for the Business Group on Health. That group counts corporations like The Walt Disney Co., Walmart and General Motors among its members.

Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe is still the only one circulated inside Supreme CourtThe Supreme Court is set to gather Thursday for the first time since the disclosure that it voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, and there’s no sign that the court is changing course from issuing that ruling by the end of June The supreme court, the right hand of slavery. SCOTUS is rattled? Please.

Wade in spite of all the violent leftists protesting outside the homes of the justices.
