(Reuters) - Levi Strauss & Co said on Wednesday it will reimburse travel expenses for its full- and part-time employees who need to travel to another state for health care services, including abortions.
The apparel company best known for its jeans is the latest U.S. company to offer the benefit as various states clamp down on access to abortions.
And now, the U.S. Supreme Court looks set to vote to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, according to a leaked initial draft majority opinion published by Politico on Monday.
"Given what is at stake, business leaders need to make their voices heard and act to protect the health and well-being of our employees. That means protecting reproductive rights," the company said in a statement.
Citigroup Inc became in March the first major U.S. bank to make a similar commitment.

Can’t remember the last time I bought jeans........
Next they will start fining people for having babies.
Well, getting into someones jeans does sort of get the ball rolling.
If their employees would just keep their Levi’s on, no need to travel!
The jeans maker will assist those who choose to unzip too early to raise babies.
Who cares about morality and the future generation to buy their products? < / sarcasm >
Virtue signaling.
Advertising gimmick.
I go through jeans pretty quick working around my property. I’ve been buying Dickies and Ariat jeans for a couple of years now. They’re as durable if not moreso than Levis, and they’re less than half the price.
I’m a 58 year old male. But now I identify as. Pregnant 25 year old female. I will travel to get an “abortion”
Well, I’ve bought my last pair of Levi’s. Get woke, go broke.
so if you buy a pair of levi’s jeans you would be funding abortions
wish i could boycott but i already am
same for uber/lyft
there are probably others that are not paying attention
see disney, netflix
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again... It’s awfully convenient for these companies that every employee abortion means a savings of 18 years’ worth of dependent health-care benefits.
business leaders need to make their voices heard and act to protect the health and well-being of our employees by Paying for them to KILL their babies???
I stopped buying Levi’s 17 years ago
Baby killing perk.
How many women work at this company who would get an abortion? Is there even one?
Switched to khakis long long time ago. :)
Make the reimbursement TAXABLE.
