Companies Backing Abortion Should Be Careful What They Wish For

A vast array of corporations have come out in support of abortion in recent weeks—specifically to oppose “heartbeat” bills that ban abortion after six weeks, such as the ones recently signed into law in Georgia, Missouri, and Alabama.

Last week, leaders of more than 180 companies—including MAC Cosmetics, Yelp, and clothing-maker Eileen Fisher—signed a letter in a full-page ad in The New York Times, saying that “restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our employees and customers.”

This follows several threats made by media companies, including Disney and Netflix, to stop filming in Georgia due to the “heartbeat bill” recently signed by Gov. Brian Kemp.

Just weeks ago, things were quieter. Bloomberg pointed out last month that “the corporate silence on abortion in Georgia and elsewhere has been deafening, especially compared with corporations’ eagerness to demonstrate their support for other progressive social issues, such as LGBT rights.”

So it’s curious that nearly 200 companies would suddenly come out swinging against these bans.

Sounds like Soros to me. A public convulsion in the making. Dick's I hear is barely making it.

ever notice how the demoncrats always say it's for the kids, ie immigration, welfare, gun control, climate change, carbon tax?
Then why aren't they worried about abortion?
Didn't think so!
Hypocrites! Pure Evil!
