Walmart, the nation’s largest employer, is expanding its abortion coverage for employees after staying largely mum on the issue following the Supreme Court ruling that scrapped a nationwide right to abortion. In a memo sent to employees on Friday, the AP reports, the company said its health care plans will now cover abortion for employees «when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability.» Previously, the company’s plan covered abortion only «when the health of the mother would be in danger if the fetus were carried to term, the fetus could not survive the birthing process, or death would be imminent after birth,» according to a copy of the policy viewed by the AP but not confirmed by Walmart.
