Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:SBUX) will reimburse U.S. employees if they must travel more than 100 miles from their homes to obtain an abortion, Reuters reported.
The decision was communicated by the company through a memo to its employees.
The coffee chain joins the likes of Amazon.Com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) to offer the benefit.
The issue gained urgency after a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court showing that a conservative majority of justices supported overturning the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion, the report specified.
The benefit also applies to the dependents of employees, Reuters report cited the memo.
Price Action: SBUX shares are trading lower by 3.49% at $72.98 on the last check Monday.
