The Cavaliers, along with a number of other Cleveland-based sports franchises, announced Monday they will cover the costs for their employees to travel outside Ohio for reproductive health care services following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade last Friday.
“The Cleveland Cavaliers, Monsters, Charge, Cavs Legion, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and Rock Entertainment Group stand for equality, and believe having full access to reproductive health care is a fundamental freedom of choice all women should have,” the franchises said in a statement posted on Twitter Monday.
“Prioritizing the well-being of our Team Members (employees) means to ensure they have the ability to make personal decisions about their health and future.
