After the leaked draft ruling showed that the U.S. Supreme Court intended to overturn Rowe v. Wade, fate 2 development studio Bungie issued a statement saying it "supports basic health care rights" and "is committed to safeguarding employees' freedom and privacy". On twitter, some followers said they wanted the official to "just focus on making games", while the official twitter directly rejected the request, saying they "will never".
The ruling in Roe v. Wade case issued in 1973 ruled that American women enjoy the right to abortion protected by the constitution, but there are some restrictions based on three months. The case was triggered by a Texas law that prohibits all abortions unless the mother's life is threatened; The court finally ruled that the law violated the due process provisions of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
The ruling has been criticized and revised in subsequent years, but earlier this week, politico revealed that the U.S. Supreme Court plans to overturn it and return the decision on abortion crime to states. Supreme Court Judge John Roberts later confirmed that the leaked draft was true, although not necessarily final.
The Guttmacher Institute is a "research and policy organization dedicated to promoting global and reproductive health and rights". In April, it estimated that if Roy v. Wade was overturned, 26 states in the United States would "definitely or possibly" implement abortion bans. Some pregnant women may soon not have access to poor medical services, which is the reason for Bungie's statement.
In the article, Bungie said: "in Bungie, we believe that everyone has the right to choose their own path, and freedom is reflected in all aspects of life. The draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade leaked by the US Supreme Court is a blow to American freedom and a direct attack on human rights."
"By creating a gap between those who have the basic right to make health care decisions that suit them and those who do not have the same freedoms, if the decision becomes final, it will have a far-reaching impact on generations across socio-economic boundaries."
Not surprisingly, the statement on twitter was opposed by some followers who urged the studio to focus on making games.
Bungie retorted: "Bungie is committed to protecting the freedom and privacy of its employees and providing support to all employees affected by this decision. Defending reproductive choice and freedom is not a difficult decision, and Bungie is still committed to upholding these values."
