UTA is taking a big step in the fight over women’s reproductive rights in the wake of the news that the Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and threaten access to abortions. The agency has agreed to reimburse colleagues for any travel expenses related to women’s reproductive health services that are not accessible in their state of residence.
The new benefit came in a memo from UTA CEO Jeremy Zimmer to staffers, which TheWrap has obtained. It refers to the growing “threats against women’s reproductive rights.” While it’s unclear, the agency is likely the first to take such a step. “We’re doing this to support the right to choose that has been a bedrock of settled law for almost half a century,” Zimmer wrote in part in reference to the leaked Supreme Court majority draft opinion, penned by Justice Alito.
“UTA has a long history of giving generously through our Foundation to organizations that support women’s reproductive health care, which we will continue to prioritize.”The memo concludes saying that UTA will also provide other resources for women and encourages employees to reach out to HR for more info about the healthcare benefit. As Zimmer’s memo alludes to, abortion could become illegal in nearly half the states across the U.S. should the Supreme Court officially strike down Roe v.
Wade. Many states have trigger laws that could ban abortions immediately once the Supreme Court overturns the law, while in others it would take effect within 30 days or have other laws on the books from prior to the Roe v. Wade decision that could go back into effect.
