SBA Administrator Issues Statement on SCOTUS Dobbs Decision
The significant Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade in 1973 established women’s right to have an abortion in the event of an unplanned pregnancy.
Since 1973, as per the statistics published by LinkedIn, the percentage of women working in the workforce has increased from 40 percent to 60%. However, can this increase be attributable in part to Roe Wade v. Wade? Or a changing economic environment?
Whichwhere Will Roe v. Wade Reversal Most Impactful?
State-level politics: the issue of rights to abortion returns to states, were chosen representatives elected by the populace will decide what path the state chooses to take. The current estimates suggest that around half of states will ban abortions. Candidates and those currently elected will be pressured to declare their views regarding the issue.
Human Resource Decisions – Small-scale business owners will need to take crucial decisions about benefits plans for employees. What health plans for employees offer benefits to allow employees to take advantage of abortions outside of their state (if they’re not available in their state of residence)? Major companies such as Tesla, Patagonia, Amazon, Levi Strauss and Co, Yelp, and others have already announced that they will take this step. The majority of employee benefit plans cover the reproductive health of women, which includes birth control or pregnancy leave. Employers and employees must look over current plans.
Businesswomen: Women who are self-employed individuals can get healthcare insurance via Healthcare.gov as well as different insurance providers. Certain insurance companies provide “reproductive services,” but might not cover the expenses for an abortion. Based on data that were released in April of 2022, the nation’s average cost of abortion during the initial trimester of pregnancy is $500, while during the second trimester it is $900.

Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said, “What we personally feel about abortion, not politics, should drive important medical decisions.”
Michigan Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said, “Life prevails! The debate is not returning back to America.”
