Google offers to relocate employees to states ‘more friendly to women’s reproductive rights’

Supreme Court

Many companies, organizations and individuals publicly made statements following the Supreme Court decision Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade expressing that they will help women get abortions in states where they are allowed.

Google went a step further, announcing they will help pay expenses for employees to move to another state completely. A company-wide email was sent out Friday immediately following the Supreme Court’s decision, which reminded employees they could not only receive reimbursement for out-of-state ‘medical care’ but added they could apply for relocation to a state that is more friendly to women’s reproductive rights.

It should not be overlooked that Google’s announcement is somewhat of a an empty promise, considering their main offices and headquarters are in New York and California; two states with the most liberal policies where abortion remains very much legal.

Twitchy picked up on the announcement and highlighted many reactions:

J.D. Vance, author of the book Hillbilly Elegy which was a huge success and was adapted to the big screen, as well as a Trump endorsed senate candidate for Ohio, reacted with the powerful statement:

“If your worldview tells you that it’s bad for women to become mothers but liberating for them to work 90 hours a week in a. cube at the New York Times or Goldman Sachs, you’ve been had.”

Media personality Lauren Chen tweeted about the decision, noting its financial benefit to the company: “Let’s face it, big companies have an incentive for pregnant employees to get abortions. It’s cheaper to pay for an abortion than it is to pay for maternity leave. So yes ladies, terminate your own young so you can keep making money for Google. Yay, feminism!”

Former President Bill Clinton and Gov. Kathy Hochul Call for Changes to New York City’s “Right to Shelter Law”

In a surprising turn of events, former President Bill Clinton has joined forces with New York Governor Kathy Hochul in advocating for significant modifications to New York City’s long-standing “Right to Shelter Law.”

According to reports from Fox News, during an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on 77 WABC radio’s “The Cats Roundtable” show, Clinton expressed his belief that the law, which mandates shelter for the homeless, should be revised given the current circumstances.

“Gov. [Kathy] Hochul thinks it should be modified, and it probably should under the circumstances,” Clinton remarked, acknowledging the need for change. He went on to assert that the existing law is fundamentally flawed, stating, “It’s broken. We need to fix it. It doesn’t make any sense.”

The “Right to Shelter Law” has been a fixture of New York City for over four decades and is aimed at ensuring that the homeless population has access to shelter. Moreover, New York City is often referred to as a sanctuary city, welcoming migrants and providing them with certain protections.

However, Clinton pointed out a specific concern related to this policy. He expressed his view that the city’s obligation to provide shelter extends to individuals who may not have work permits for up to six months after their arrival, raising questions about its practicality.

Furthermore, Clinton argued that migrants should have the opportunity to begin “paying their way” into American society through gainful employment and self-sufficiency.

“They ought to work,” Clinton asserted, emphasizing the importance of migrants entering the workforce, paying taxes, and supporting themselves economically. He noted that many migrants have no desire to rely on welfare assistance.

In addition to addressing the “Right to Shelter Law,” Clinton emphasized the role of immigrants in shoring up the American economy due to the nation’s low birth rate. He suggested that the United States should consider constructing more housing options near the border with Mexico to accommodate migrants, with the support of the Mexican government.

This approach, according to Clinton, would allow individuals to reside near the border while awaiting opportunities to find work and contribute positively to American society.

Clinton also acknowledged the political ramifications of the ongoing immigration crisis, acknowledging that it has been advantageous for Republicans. He attributed this to the inadequacies in the immigration system and a lack of sufficient border facilities.

The former president concluded by addressing the recent political losses suffered by Democrats in New York, attributing them in part to the perceived mishandling of the immigration issue. He stressed the need for his party to adopt a more “commonsense approach” to the challenges posed by migration.

The alignment of views between former President Bill Clinton and Governor Kathy Hochul on the need for changes to the “Right to Shelter Law” highlights the complexities and evolving dynamics surrounding immigration policy in the United States, particularly in major metropolitan areas like New York City.
