On Friday, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade by concluding there was no constitutional right to an abortion. As a result, states are now free to impose absolute restrictions on a woman’s ability to terminate a pregnancy. Thanks to so-called “trigger laws” in 13 states, abortion is now illegal in a good portion of this nation. Recognizing this, many corporations including Disney, Amazon, and Starbucks have been expressing their intentions to support employees who wish to travel to states where abortions will still be available, assuming, that is, the Constitution really is “neither pro-life nor pro-choice” but “neutral” as Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes, and states are free to permit “abortion on demand.”
