In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on abortion, some companies are offering to help their employees travel out of state to get a legal abortion when abortion is banned in their home state. Half of Americans (50%) support companies doing this, whereas one in three (33%) oppose it, according to the latest Economist / YouGov Poll. The vast majority of Democrats (78%) are supportive, while only 24% of Republicans are.
Some Texas officials have pushed back against companies who have made such offers, including by threatening them with legal action. Americans are more than twice as likely to oppose (55%) as to support (24%) states prosecuting companies that aid employees in obtaining abortions. While Democrats are mostly united in their opposition to such action (69% oppose, 20% support), Republicans are evenly split on the issue (39% oppose, 38% support).
