When it comes to paid abortion leave, Boston is not alone.
The Boston City Council expanded its paid leave scheme for city workers in September to include loss of pregnancy, including abortion for any reason at any point in the pregnancy. The policy applies to both women and men and offers them 100 percent of their pay for the first four weeks, 75 percent for the next four weeks, and 50 percent for the final four weeks. It passed unanimously on a voice vote.
