Yesterday we noted one of the likely downstream consequences from the Supreme Court decision on Roe might be that increased federalism and state control over abortion laws would lead to national ‘red lining.’ Essentially, leftists would avoid red state abortion restrictions and self-isolate in deepening blue regions where abortion is more common and accessible.
Within hours of that prediction, Google Inc sent an internal memo to employees offering to pay relocation assistance for any worker who would want to leave an area where abortion is likely to be restricted.
VIA NBC – Google sent a companywide email Friday about the historic Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, explaining employees in affected states can apply for relocation without explaining why.
“This is a profound change for the country that deeply effects so many of us, especially women,” wrote Google Chief People officer Fiona Cicconi in an email to workers, viewed by CNBC. “Googlers can also apply for relocation without justification, and those overseeing this process will be aware of the situation.”
The note doesn’t say how many requests the company would approve and makes no promises. The company is still in the process of assigning relocations for employees who don’t want to come back into their assigned physical office due to the company’s return-to-office policy, which began in April.
Google has more than 30 locations across the U.S. Cicconi also said it will be providing “support sessions” to employees in the coming days. (read more)
Assuming Google does not want to face lawsuits; and taking them at their word about no justification being needed; it would appear the reverse scenario is also true. Google employees who work in an area of extreme leftism (deep blue), can ask for relocation to an area with a more conservative perspective (deep red). This will be interesting to keep watching.
Additionally, Variety has compiled a list of several companies that will now pay health benefits to employees to travel out of state or region and terminate their pregnancy via abortion.
VARIETY – Disney, Netflix, Paramount, Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, Meta and several major media and entertainment companies said they will cover travel costs for employees seeking abortions after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
In the wake of the ruling, Disney reached out to employees on Friday to stress that they recognize the “impact” of the Supreme Court’s decision and “remain committed to providing comprehensive access to quality and affordable care” for all Disney employees and their families, which includes family planning and reproductive care, “no matter where they live,” an internal source told Variety.
For Disney employees unable to access a medical service, including abortions, in one location, they have a travel benefit that allows for “affordable coverage for receiving similar levels of care in another location.” Walt Disney World, one of the company’s major theme parks is located in Orlando. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has already moved to implement abortion restrictions that limit access to the procedure.
[…] Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish and chief people officer Nancy Phillips sent a memo to staff on Friday, obtained by Variety, confirming the company’s intentions to cover travel costs for employees seeking abortions, writing, “Reproductive health care through company-sponsored health insurance, including coverage for birth control, elective abortion care, miscarriage care and certain related travel expenses if the covered health service, such as abortion, is prohibited in your area.” (read more)
Hopefully the most radical leftists will now self-isolate and stop migrating to regions where traditional American values are being retained. This would be a natural outcome if the actions of the left-wing democrats were to match their rhetoric. Unfortunately, I fear the abortion issue is not as big a political issue as the megaphones in media would like to believe. Recent polling has shown very little political benefit in/around the issue of abortion.
It would be a good outcome if overturning Roe resulted in democrats stopping their migration away from their own left-wing policy madness; however, I’m not sure the abortion issue will overcome their desire to live outside of their insanity. Leftists are ultimately the best representatives of cognitive dissonance when it comes to living up to their own ideological standards.
Democrats have long been known as “Blue Locusts” because they flee the totalitarianism and consequences they create; then seek to destroy the abundance they desire to have around them. Modern leftists are dangerous in the destructive outlooks they carry.
If the Roe decision resulted in these leftists self-isolating away from conservative states, this would be of great benefit. Alas, I doubt they are as committed to the issue as they claim.
If all the leftist democrats were to isolate themselves in geographic safe spaces, the non-breeding Moonbat population would decline and eventually disappear. Unfortunately, I doubt we could be this lucky.
Hopefully the Blues will also self isolate away from red states with more liberal gun laws.
They can go be isolated and disarmed in the great blue north.
Pro-life youngsters outnumbered the abortionist baby boomers at SCOTUS yesterday. That is the true sign of progress.
The point Sundance makes above for woke satanic Demoncrat enclaves is interesting. How many moonbats actually emigrated to Canada like they promised after the Real President Trump was elected?
None I know of.
I kept waiting for Miley Cyrus to head up to Canada but alas no such luck. Ditto for Barbra Streisand and Cher. LOL
The child in the womb can feel pain from the instruments being used to dis-member them during the abortion process and they try to resist the attack. Somewhere between 15 & 20 weeks depending on development of the child the pain is evident.

Yes. The youth are aching to be guided by strong older men/women. A lot of people say younger people are getting worse and worse but I disagree. I am a millennial and think it will get better from there. I always talk to younger guys on the job sites and most, not all, are on the right side of things. However, I am in the construction field where college hasn’t warped as many minds. It is also overwhelmingly white, blue collar with some traditional family-oriented Mexicans mixed in.
A “Red State” resurrection! For years Libs/Progs have been encouraging their unwashed hordes stinking of patchouli and pot, waving “Gender Studies” degrees to relocate to depressed cities across the South and dilute our vote, well “Goodbye” a-holes and good luck finding a tiny hovel in the Northeast or on the West Coast you can afford, it’ll be mommy and daddy’s basement, a tent city, or refrigerator box under an overpass for all of them.
I’m here hoping that these corporate interests help move their ‘woke’ underlings our of our red states and send them, free of charge, to move to the blue states. Get ’em out of here. This could be a win-win for everyone. Go ahead Google…pay to relocate your leftist employees. We won’t miss ’em one bit. We may even bring a send off party to the airport to see them off. Bye bye…
Wave and shout:
“Be gone disciples of Satan”!
Heck, they should move all the H-1 visa parasites back to India and Pokiston!
Our local nightly news report stated that the Supreme court took away the constitutional right to abortion. Not quite as entertaining as the Late Night show with Jay Leno, but close.
This woke idiot that affected the recent Australian federal elections is pulling the same stunt too.

Corporations will become accessories to murder.
“Corporations are ‘people'” ergo they are accomplices in “Murder” and must be charged, just like someone paying to hire a hitman.
There shall be no sacrifices to Chemosh except among the savages, they have no souls.
Two questions;
If red states make Abortion a crime would Abortionists be prosecuted?
If a woman travels to another state to have an Abortion would she be prosecuted if, post Abortion, she returned to her original red state?
I damn well hope so.
No. Where the crime occurred has jurisdiction.
Murder is murder…
As I wrote few minutes ago, crime is always crime. Above all, when is killing somebody.
Expedy is correct., where the crime occurs has jurisdiction. If you recall some decades ago states rules on alcohol were not all consistent… some states said you had to be 21 while others allowed consumption at 18. The law officers of one state could bot cross the state line to arrest bar owners in the other state.
jurisdiction is a construct of bad men to put the guilt over other men.
If I steal a duck in my neighbors farm I will continue to be a thief when I return to my house.
As simple as this.
sorry, third question
If employers in the red state facilitated travel by their employee to a hell hole blue state for the purpose of an Abortion, would the Company subsequently be prosecuted for conspiracy to procure a murder by the red state?
Like the sound of that!
maybe the redstates should pass a law disallowing travel costs to procure an abortion from being deducted by corporations on their income taxes. just saying….. it always works to hit them where it hurts…… their tax return.
Of course it will be prosecuted. Lawyer’s job.
Since all 50 State Legislatures are going to pass their own version of abortion laws, We need to get ahead of the curve; flood the schools and colleges with up-to-date books on HUMAN embryology that emphasize the MIRACLE on how we develop and grow. And also include graphic photos of what aborted babies look like at all stages of development. Show the SCIENCE and HUMANITY that pro-abortion/ “Free love” libertines are negating. Fight against MALE peer pressure to get laid so in order to impress male friends. Emphasize that their selfish lust is putting innocent girls and women in a bad place and how abandoning them is the biggest form of moral cowardice. Don’t blow this chance!
Colleges are a lost cause. Sen. Joseph McCarthy back in 1954 estimated it would take until 1977 to rid the nations institutes of indoctrination (colleges/universities) of the Communist influence tragically he underestimated the desire to and the effort required in accomplishing that task. The fact is if anything the high-priced brainwashing centers are far more radicalized than ever before, the only solution is to drive them into bankruptcy by alumni witholding donations and refusing to send your children to such schools (of Leftist/Progressive thought).
Someone should project the Excommunication scene from the movie “Becket” with Richard Burton onto the garage door of Pelosi’s house every night (and dub in Pelosi’s name and crimes instead of those for Baron Gilbert). It is nearing midnight for her soul. Tick Tock.
Regarding Google employees requesting relocation to a more conservative area: no one can stop you from asking, but the managers don’t have to grant you anything. I ran into this during my time working at a hospital. If you were something other than a straight white male, management would bend over backward to accommodate you and grant any request you made, no matter how outlandish. But if you were a straight white guy? To hell with you. You get nothing. I expect Google would do something similar as a way of getting rid of the non-wokesters. Or maybe they’ll grant all such requests, then close the offices in conservative areas and lay off all the workers there. That seems likely, too.
Time to play the Left’s game ie. Lawfare, employees of our persuasion must seek to avail themselves of these “perks” in reverse and when denied such “benefit” which is guaranteed to happen they must sue, “Litigation Nation” it must be.
Do you think that google chiefs are white guys? Good laugh!
Whoopi is still here even though the US is such a horrible place. .sarc
The plan to get blue birds our of our red state is working better than I expected.
I wonder if all these corporations will pay for the women who want to keep their babies. Will they offer them financial assistance, paid maternity leave? Nah, don’t think so. Because it isn’t about the baby, it’s about the abortion. It has become crystal clear which corporations have completely embraced the evil this world has to offer. Everything now is to benefit anything sick or twisted. The more degenerate the better as far as they are concerned. Normal, healthy, sane people need not apply.
In abortion the baby to be killed is the most important person.
The mother is an equally important secondary person. She comes after the baby.
People who do not understand this do not understand Life.
A woman must have full help and benefit from other humans for raising a human being.
And pregnancy isn’t illness.
I love the Word of God: stand in the power of his might, we can do nothing for our own selves without Christ, the whole world walks in darkness, we (Born again Believers) are in this world but we are not of this world, he died for our sins and is willing and able to forgive them, greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world, he will never leave us nor never forsake us, God’s peace passes all understanding and to know the love of Christ passes all knowledge, if he is for us who can be against us, he stands at the door and knocks and if ANYONE would open…
The apostasy is upon us prophecy is being fulfilled,if you know your Bible it’s getting clearer and clearer if not; we’ll you tell me.

Essentially, leftists would avoid red state abortion restrictions and self-isolate in deepening blue regions where abortion is more common and accessible.
The terms are acceptable.
What a mess woke companies are bringing upon themselves. Are they going to deny travel benefits to employees that wish to go to China for a kidney transplant?
I wonder what the google employee thinks about “Do No Harm” as they rip the fetus from her body and toss it in the parts bin.
I remember when the convoy protested at Buffy Wicks house during the infanticide bill, AB2223, protests and what one young apparently pro-abortion lady shot back at one of the live streamers covering the event while the pro-abortion/anti-convoy people pelted the convoy with eggs…..
Isn’t granting a specific benefit to one group discriminatory? I guess that anyone that identifies as male and other non-female genders need to sue under Title IX.
What sad sad people we have become when killing unborn children is promoted as health care.
Question…are legal abortions paid (in whole or part) by the medical system in the state? Also if companies are paying for this is it an income tax deduction as employee benefit?
Do employees have to claim the abortion on their income tax form as a taxable benefit?
Valid questions and one should remember that the lawyers who write the laws have been war-planning this stuff for decades to make it all ‘legal’. Legal is nothing more than what a group of lawyers says it is. One should decide between what is legal and what is right. I’ve already made my choice. Long ago. Now it’s time to execute that choice. It’s not about abortion rather the tyranny of the few over the many.
Gee, all you lefty idiots of the spoiled rotten generation, if you don’t think you can get an abortion, then don’t get pregnant. You have to grow up and realize you can’t have your childish ways all your life.
Now Woke Corporations, showing their abject stupidity, are offering their female employees a Scarlet Letter.
“Where’s Sally?”
“Uh….she’s been, ahem… relocated.”
“Recent polling has shown very little political benefit in/around the issue of abortion.”…
I would say it’s a very tiny self serving bubbles on both sides of the subject.
One side sounds like raving lunatics, the other sounds a lot like the Taliban.

The timing of these and the gun ruling is to bring Democrats and Independents who can see just how bad DEms have become back into the fold.
When will these people get it right? There are no women’s rights. There are only Pronoun rights.
Nothing. Absolutely Nothing. Is innate.
Won’t those kind of costs be the first thing on the chopping block when the economy tanks later in the year? CTH outlined the extreme pressure on sales due to decreased demand for certain products. WOKE is going to be so yesterday when survival is not certain…

I FAIL TO SEE THE PROBLEM🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s much cheaper to pay to kill that baby, than to pay for maternity leave. How interesting.
