Dick’s Sporting Goods Hit with Civil-Rights Complaint for Funding Employee Abortions, Not Childcare
Following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, Dick’s Sporting Goods was one of several companies to announce it would be funding its employees’ abortions. This woke announcement backfired, however, after America First Legal filed a civil rights complaint against the company for funding abortions, but not childcare. Federal law states that companies cannot discriminate based on an employee’s parental status. AFL Senior Counselor Reed Rubinstein condemned Dick’s actions, saying, “Subsidizing travel for an abortion, while denying an equivalent benefit to a mother welcoming a new baby, is perverse and unlawful. Using racial balancing and quotas in hiring and promotion, as the company claims that it does, has been illegal for decades. DICK’S management is an avatar for the rot and danger of corporate wokeness.”
