Ride-sharing companies have stepped in to protect their drivers in the US state of Oklahoma

The bill has not yet been signed into law. Republican governor Kevin Stitt is expected to approve it within the next few days.

Oklahoma’s House passed the heartbeat act, a law that bans abortions at around six weeks of pregnancy. Like a similar anti-abortion law recently passed in Texas, Oklahoma’s bill also gives individuals the right to sue someone who’AIDS or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion’.

Lyft and Uber both said they would cover drivers’ legal fees after Texas passed its anti-abortion law in September. Now they’re doing the same for drivers in Oklahoma.

‘we believe transportation should n’t be a barrier to accessing healthcare and it’s our duty to support both our rider and driver communities’.

Lyft says it will cover travel costs for insured US-based Lyft drivers who need to travel over 100 miles to an abortion clinic. Green also said the company is’working with health provider partners to create a safe state program’.

It’s unclear whether Uber also plans on covering travel expenses for drivers or passengers traveling for an abortion. The Verge reached out to Uber with a request for comment but did n’t immediately hear back.
