I think the current term is "uterus haver"

That letter is the typical pablum you'd expect from these people. I think the space to grieve is the funnest/most tragic part of it though. This is just the "safe space" bullshit we were arguing about a decade ago on GG brought forward.

Followed soon thereafter by the bandwidth riots and the corn syrup droughts. Our future history is going to be weird.

Anthropologists are going to have voluminous digital records and they're still going to struggle with understanding our society.

That's actually a twofer. It makes them appear socially conscious.

Ghislaine Maxwell has abrubtly been put on suicide watch before her sentencing, apparently without an evaluation and despite not being suicidal (according to her lawyers).

I for one will be shocked and astonished when the cameras malfunction

I find it incredibly unlikely that a company covers abortion travel because of the alternative cost of maternity. That sounds like something I'd come up with if I was trying to discredit the idea that this is a thing people want provided to them.

If she actually suicides then I’m willing to reconsider my stance on conspiracy in general.

I'm saying the company provides it to keep employees happy, not to save money. It's such a silly idea that I can only imagine someone would suggest it in bad faith.

right, because only like .001% of employees would ever take advantage of this policy and it gives everyone peace of mind, so it's a no-brainer

Why is your estimate that low? I was under the impression that abortions are pretty common and people like free trips.

if you say that companies are taking into account costs (small number of people using the benefit) i don't see why they wouldn't also take into account the costs of maternity benefits

excuse me, sir, Amazon carries a plethora of high quality products, including many of your favorite brands, a great number of which are produced outside of the people’s republic of china.

It's just an observation on how much more pregnancy and childbirth cost than abortion. The numbers are so lopsided that even with the added cost of a trip out of state it's still cheaper by far to pay for an abortion.

Should have asked for a space to have abortions in the warehouses in those states, obviously. Serious misplay on their part.
