Giant Eagle To Cover Travel Costs For Abortions

June 29, 2022 4:02 am

PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – Giant Eagle is joining other companies and vowing to cover travel costs for employees that need access to abortions in different states. This decision comes days after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, giving individual states the power to make abortions illegal.  Giant Eagle has grocery stores in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. Ohio currently has a ban on abortions after a heartbeat has been detected, which is around the 6-week mark during pregnancy. West Virginia’s only abortion clinic stopped performing abortions last Friday. Maryland was mentioned as one of the states likely to keep abortion legal after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
