Summary

When Roe fell, eyes turned to a quiet – and undeniable – giant in the conversation on abortion care: corporate America. In a post-Roe world, an employer can be the last line of defense for folks seeking an abortion. And their silence can speak volumes. For the next few episodes, we’re talking about the response to the overturn of Roe.

This episode, Kate and Jamia detangle how the notoriously tricky world of employer-sanctioned healthcare could offer aid to employees in states with restrictive abortion laws– and the obstacles standing in the way.
