It is official. The United States Supreme Court, with an opinion written by Justice Alito, has ended the terror of Roe v Wade, sending the issue back to the several states. The case is Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health.
Heard Erick just now talking about corporations granting “healthcare” for people who elect to travel for “healthcare.” From LinkedIn and Dick’s sporting goods CEO right on cue.
At DICK’S, our teammates are the heart of our business, and we are committed to protecting their health and well-being.
Today, the Supreme Court announced a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, removing the federal right to an abortion and leaving the decision up to each state.
While we do not know what decision each state will make in response to this ruling, we at DICK’S Sporting Goods are prepared to ensure that all of our teammates have consistent and safe access to the benefits we provide, regardless of the state in which they live.
In response to today’s ruling, we are announcing that if a state one of our teammates lives in restricts access to abortion, DICK’S Sporting Goods will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement to travel to the nearest location where that care is legally available. This benefit will be provided to any teammate, spouse or dependent enrolled in our medical plan, along with one support person.
We recognize people feel passionately about this topic -- and that there are teammates and athletes who will not agree with this decision. However, we also recognize that decisions involving health and families are deeply personal and made with thoughtful consideration. We are making this decision so our teammates can access the same health care options, regardless of where they live, and choose what is best for them.
My wife that went home to be with our Lord and Savior in 2001, will really enjoy this day as she volunteered many hours in the Pregnancy Center over 14 years. She helped save many new born babies and gave them all the clothes to wear until about age 1yr. She was Blessed and is even more NOW
I'm sure the leftist troglodytes are emerging from their dens, the U-Haul trucks are rolling to deliver bricks, bats and other assorted implements for them to demonstrate their fury, and other demonstrations of mayhem.
I wonder what is going to happen to the Jan 6th narrative once insanity goes on the warpath?

Wow, Biden's speech is stunningly (well maybe not for him) stupid.
"A concerted effort over decades..." you mean the democratic process?
"Unprecedented, take away a Constitutional right", no it affirmed it never was a Constitutional right.
"Take us back 150 years", ??? Um
Oh, conception... not even on the table.
"Search medicine cabinets", well actually there is a Constitutional protection there, and Griswald v. Connecticut affirmed it.
All this is an emotional plea and a campaign speech. You can't actually challenge the legal basis of the decision.

Finally!

Thank God.
After decades, we have a fair chance to fight back.
I'm hunkering down at home. No way in the world I'm going anything where near a population center.
Here comes the crazy... Staying away from TV and Social Media for a WHILE
I think this is when the cool—er, dorky—kids would say #10thAmendment #federalism
