Senior Associates Cover "Workplace Protections For Employees Seeking Abortion Care" for Law360

                   

         

In the days and weeks following the Dobbs decision, several national employers ranging from Disney to Tesla have stepped up to offer travel benefits for their employees who must seek abortion care in another state.
