You're going to have elaborate about what these policies are and also what you think they should be doing.
> but won’t pay you more money if you decide to keep the baby.
It sounds like you think they should give people pay increases if they have children. Of course, they also offer parental leave, and arguably lose money every time one of their employees has a baby, so if that's what you want them to do, it makes no sense.
To be clear, I'm not proposing they have some nefarious economic purpose in paying employees to fly to get abortions. I think the companies genuinely view it as a healthcare benefit, and most of their employees genuinely feel that it should be a fundamental Federal right.
> Where are the people in tech that are fighting back against this?
Who would bother, aside from people with serious moral qualms about abortion?
This is all true -- as a parent at a big high-tech company, we get excellent benefits for our kids. There's health insurance, dental insurance, paid parental leave for both parents, subsidized day care, and more.
I mean this isn’t just some majority that would be okay with this. Surely there are professionals at big tech companies who will speak out against this, just like Google’s liberal bias etc.

Says who, based on what data?
I feel like it's pretty clear that most educated people in the US of working age are either centrist or left of center politically, and that, accordingly, for the most part, groups of educated people in the US tend to have a "liberal bias".
I don't see what basis there is to argue that these companies should not provide a perk that a significant percentage of its workforce wants. I also think the term "bias" is misplaced; there is no duty on the part of these companies to resist culturally skewing as their employees skew. We can speak of biased media because, ideally, journalists should be as objective as possible, but that logic doesn't apply to, e.g., Amazon.
