Citigroup will pay expenses such as airfare and lodging if an employee travels out of state to get an abortion. The New York-based bank created the policy in response to state heartbeat laws and bills enacting 15-week abortion bans.
By encouraging abortion, companies dehumanize women in an attempt to keep productivity high. Women miss more work due to pregnancy and maternity leave than they do when they get an abortion. Life-affirming benefits such as birth expenses, baby supplies, or daycare are rarely offered. Women and their children are not valued as people, they are only valued by their effects on a company's bottom line.
