福里与拉德纳律师事务所合伙人尼克·韦尔在《Law360》题为《保障堕胎权的雇主面临法律风险》的文章中发表观点,探讨了美国最高法院今年夏天在多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案中的裁决后,为员工提供堕胎渠道的雇主所面临的法律风险。
韦尔表示:"在Dobbs案后的世界里,雇主们担心自己会成为州级堕胎法案的测试案例——这些法案可能使提供堕胎福利的雇主承担某种责任。"
“这是个未知风险,很难量化……而且一些州级政客或立法机构正就执法问题发出了强烈呼声,”他补充道。
韦尔指出,为规避某些针对堕胎手术"教唆和协助"行为的州法律,部分雇主已在其堕胎差旅福利中增加了更多保障。
“理论上,你涵盖了任何类型的医疗服务。但实际上,你涵盖了堕胎旅行、性别确认手术——这已成为热门话题并在某些情况下开始被禁止——以及其他可能在某些州属于非法的服务类型,因此范围更为广泛。我认为这确实最大限度地降低了协助和教唆的风险。”
