According to a memo distributed to employees, Goldman Sachs has updated its healthcare policy to reimburse women who have to travel to get an abortion, following the Supreme Court decision knocking down Roe vs Wade.

The memo said, “We have extended our healthcare travel reimbursement policies to include all medical procedures, treatments and evaluations, including abortion services and gender-affirming care where a provider is not available in proximity to where our people live. The health and wellbeing of our people and their families are our top priority.”

Other Wall Street heavyweights have taken similar measures, including JPMorgan, who announced they would cover travel expenses for employees to states which allow legal abortions.

Many of the largest companies in the nation have also issued similar proclamations, offering financial support for women to get abortions.

JPMorgan’s memo to staff noted, “Our health care plans have historically covered travel benefits for certain covered services that would require travel. Beginning in July, we will expand this benefit to include all covered services that can only be obtained far from your home, which would include legal abortion.”

Citigroup was noted earlier in the year to offer the same benefit to employees after Texas passed a law restricting abortion, however CEO Jane Frasier was quick to note at the annual shareholder meeting, it was not a special benefit, but rather a longstanding health policy which applied to any medical procedure.
