All I know is that if Dicks thinks it costs $4,000 to do it, it likely only costs $2,500.

All pro-life employees of Dicks and all these other companies should DEMAND, the same amount of money for them choosing not to kill their children.
As noted above, having the baby probably costs the company 50k.
Very hard to make that stand up in court.CM Trump Voter said:
States need to make it illegal to travel to get an abortion in another state. Just like the laws that punish perverts that travel to other countries to Molest kids. I want all leftists out of my state.

Always blows my mind when a company gets political like this. The sporting goods market is saturated, why would you push customers away? You exist to make money, not play lobbyist!

"In response to today's ruling, we are announcing that if a state one of our teammates lives in restricts access to abortion, DICK's Sporting Goods will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement to travel to the nearest location where that care is legally available," Hobart said in a LinkedIn message.

Employees should just lie about being pregnant and take the 4k and free trip to Colorado and when you come back they would never know you were never pregnant.
F***ing genius. I completely support this. Put these businesses in a position where they have to invade a woman's privacy to verify they aren't getting ripped off.
What is their policy going to be if/when an employee has multiple abortions over their career with the company?waitwhat? said:
Everyone should put this in perspective: Dick's will save much more than $4k by having an employee abort her baby than paying for the pregnancy and maternal leave and then having the child on insurance.
Dick's is being a real dick in hiding their true motive here. But pro-abortionists will eat it up.

Serious question: what if "Sandra" has an abortion 3 years in a row. Are they shelling out $12K to cover all of them?

Wow, literally paying people to kill their babies.
Pregnancies are expensive for businesses. This was not an altruistic move.
Yep, I ceased doing business there after the 2A blunder.Ag87H2O said:
Another good reason not to shop at Dick's.
