Eli Lilly moves jobs OUT of Indiana after state passed near total abortion ban: Drug firm headquartered in Hoosier state for 145 years that employs 10,000 says it has been 'forced to plan for more employment growth outside our home state'

Eli Lilly and Company, which employs more than 10,000 people in the Hoosier state, says it'll 'be forced to plan for more employment growth outside of our home state.'

The Indiana-based pharmaceutical giant made the revelation in a statement on Saturday following the passing of a near-total ban on abortion in the state. Eli Lilly is the manufacturer of drugs such as Prozac and Cymbalta.

On Friday, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed Senate Bill 1 into law making his state the first to institute an abortion ban since the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The ban, which comes into effect on September 15, allows for abortions in the case of rape, incest, if the mother's life is in danger or if 'the fetus is diagnosed with a lethal fetal anomaly.'

Eli Lilly's headquarters are located in Indianapolis.

'Lilly recognizes that abortion is a divisive and deeply personal issue with no clear consensus among the citizens of Indiana,' according to a press release.

'Despite this lack of agreement, Indiana has opted to quickly adopt one of the most restrictive anti-abortion laws in the United States.'

Or they’re trying to extort more tax incentives out of state and local taxpayers....

I hear California has a great business climate; and great quality of life.

Make sure you get a tetanus booster and Level 4 body armor.

‘Despite this lack of agreement, Indiana has opted to quickly adopt one of the most liberal and pro-abortion laws in the United States.’

Neve said anything like that did they?

So, Lilly is going to punish it’s employees? Why would you work at a place like that in the first place?

It is the dividing of the wheat from the chaff! Pick your side. I know the God I serve is not in to killing babies! You want to put all your chips on the table for the abortuaries … go for it. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

The country continues to divide in anticipation of an imminent nationwide secession. Bad will leave good states and seek out the bad. Good will find good to live among.

The company told the Financial Times that despite Saturday’s press release, they would honor their ‘current commitments’ to Indiana.

Virtue signaling. The reality is they’re staying. Mega corporations prefer their worker drones terminate their young because it’s cheaper for the company; no maternity leave and no family medical insurance overhead.

Eli Lilly also makes the ED drug Cialis. Are they afraid that they won’t be able to sell as much Cialis as before?

So who exactly at Eli Lilly makes the decision to move out of state? Is it the CEO? The board of directors? The shareholders? The woke diversity officer with a degree in Womyns Studies?? WHO?

I say smoke them out and good riddance! /spit

‘be forced to plan for more employment growth outside of our home state.’

This doesn’t say they are leaving Indiana. Sounds more like they are thinking of expanding in the future.

Neither are they now exclusively in Indiana. Found this on line:

“Currently, the company operates seven manufacturing sites in the US in Indiana and New Jersey, as well as Puerto Rico.”
