You Subsidize Abortion When You Patronize These Companies
From Airbnb to Zillow, You Subsidize Abortion When You Patronize These Companies

At the end of last summer, as the Texas heartbeat bill took effect, corporations began to assure their affected employees that travel expenses incurred while procuring abortions would be covered. This trend accelerated after the May leak of the draft SCOTUS opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson. Now, you get to pay an abortion subsidy “tax” every time you shop for many goods and services.
I’ve been irked since the ’90s, when Big PR decided consumers preferred to spend their money at companies that undertook “social responsibility.” Not me — I’d rather pay five bucks less for that dress than bask in the virtuous glow of knowing I’d been coerced into funding the purchase and planting of a sapling or the rehabilitation of a gimpy sea turtle, or whatever. When I want to shop, I want to shop; when I want to donate to charity, I want to donate to a charity that I choose. Why should corporations force me to subsidize their favorite woke causes every time I do business with them?
But after the Dobbs decision, companies are in a lather to promote abortion — and consequently, there’s an employee abortion-travel premium built into their pricing.
Here at PJ Media, we offer quality reporting that you can use. If you are averse to subsidizing abortion tourism (and sometimes other gnarly things as well, such as “transgender” quackery for employees or their dependent children), scroll through this alphabetical list before you decide where to spend your hard-earned money!
Airbnb
Airbnb first offered explicit support to abortion-minded employees last September. It also took the extra step of offering to help Airbnb “hosts” fight legal problems from breaking the Texas heartbeat law, and it offers up to 20 days of paid bereavement leave for pregnancy loss — even if it was elective.

“Bumble is women-founded and women-led, and from day one we’ve stood up for the most vulnerable,” said Bumble, in a breath-taking failure of self-awareness.
