The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end the nation’s constitutional protections for abortion has catapulted businesses of all types into the most divisive corner of politics.

Facebook parent Meta, American Express, Bank of America, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Goldman Sachs said they would cover employee travel costs while others like Apple, Starbucks, Lyft and Yelp reiterated previous announcements taking similar action. In Oregon, Nike, Adidas, Salt and Straw and Wieden & Kennedy pledged to cover travel, while Intel’s policy was not as clear.
