Companies could be targeted if they 'facilitate travel for those seeking abortions'
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is anticipating a surge of violence if the Supreme Court ultimately overturns Roe v. Wade, according to a leaked memo sent last week, first obtained by Axios.
The May 13 unclassified memo cites social media threats to Supreme Court justices, other public officials, and health care providers. It says such threats are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the courts official ruling. The court is expected to make its official decision in May or June.
The memo also warned that violent extremists might target companies that manufacture or sell abortion-related medications and organizations that fund and facilitate travel for those seeking abortions."

On Monday, Starbucks announced that it would pay for employees who needed to travel 100 miles or more to attain an abortion. With its announcement, it joined the ranks of companies including Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple that have pledged to offer similar support. Other companies like Citigroup and Salesforce had already made similar announcements prior to the leak, in response to a wave of state-level restrictive abortion legislation in states including Texas, Idaho, Missouri, Ohio, and Oklahoma. Many of Americas largest companies, however, have remained silent.
