Jackson and its impact on employees and employers. Although several employers issued public statements regarding the provision of abortion-related benefits, the authors highlight some of the obstacles to their implementation. Design/methodology/approach With a focus on employee wellbeing, the authors discuss the obstacles in implementing abortion care benefits. Findings While it is encouraging to see many organizations make public statements in support of abortion rights, the authors temper their enthusiam with questions about practicality. Research limitations/implications Based on the research on hidden stigmas and the job demands-resources model, the authors argue that employees who need to use abortion-related benefits may be unlikely to seek them. Practical implications The authors highlight some unanswered questions relating to the requesting and granting of abortion healthcare benefits. Social implications The Dobbs decision takes away rights. While the authors applaud organizations’ efforts to restore them, facilitating access to an abortion in other states is quite complicated. Originality/value Although abortions are very common, very little organizational research has addressed the topic. In light of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, the paper raises some timely questions about employer-sponsored abortion healthcare. |
