Or it could reveal that abortions, even in the best circumstances, cost money -- time off of work and travel expenses for example. Perhaps these companies support women having access to it regardless of their economic status.
It'll blow your mind, but some companies even allow employees time off to vote in elections, partially for the same reasons.
While I think that these kind of things shouldn't require a company to take any action in, this isn't "going so far as" in a country where medical care is basically tied to your job. If your company guarantees medical care, why is paying for an abortion anyhow different?
But indeed I prefer a system of public health insurances which keep these matters independent of your employer.
