Restricting abortion is 'bad for business,' 180 business leaders say
CNN ^ | June 10, 2019 | Jackie Wattles

Posted on 06/10/2019 8:34:38 AM PDT by C19fan

Top executives from more than 180 companies have a message for lawmakers: Restricting abortion is "bad for business."

A letter endorsed by the business leaders appeared as a full-page ad in Monday's New York Times, declaring "it's time for companies to stand up for reproductive health care." They argue that limiting access to comprehensive care, "including abortion," threatens "the health, independence, and economic stability of our employees and customers." The letter says strict abortion laws are "against our values" and impede corporate efforts to build diverse workforces.

Big Business throwing Social Conservatives under the bussteam roller again. Part of me wishes the likes of AOC would take over to give it to Big Business good and hard.

Obviously I don’t subscribe to the Slimes.

Anyone have a list of the 180 so I know which companies to boycott?

Yes, but it is great for Satan’s business, that of destroying the creatures most dear to God’s heart while bringing their blood upon the heartless individuals who rip the child from their own mother’s womb.

When you are damning your own soul, so what if it’s good for business? What good is it if in gaining the whole world you lose your soul!

Hardly “business leaders”. Totally misleading headline. The companies listed at the end of the article are so small, no one’s probably ever heard of them. Yet CNN makes it sound as though it’s the companies that make up the Dow Jones Index. What a farce.

Nice to get these idiots on yet another record to remember who not to support.

“Reproductive health” my a$$.

“Diverse workforce”?? How they hell is that attained when 75% of all the African-American innocent kids are murdered in the womb?

The letter says strict abortion laws are "against our values" and impede corporate efforts to build diverse workforces.

Values????? This country has more than its share of sickos now. "It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)

I have heard of very few of those companies. Must make them feel good for companies such as “Make Love Not Porn” to say they have an ad in the Slimes.

Maternity leaves, accommodations made for new parents etc., are expensive and disruptive to business. Of course they would rather that key female employees not have new children. It’s business, and business is all about the Benjamins.

If killing pre born human life is perceived by some business “leaders” as good for business, then the country needs new, ethical business leaders

And now we know what these companies think of the family and especially mothers. Cogs is all either sex is seen as.

Negative population growth is bad for business.

It’s an even More dreadful thing to be too lazy to look at the list first :)

Titans of industry they are not! :)

In fact, they’re a joke and I didn’t see one that I use anyhoo.

And YES it is important which companies they are because there are MILLIONS of companies and these are essentially a joke.

YES. An ice cream maker is a joke. Even if you like ice cream a lot. :)

Companies that can MOVE the American market and have grown so powerful that they can change part of our lives if they desired strongly to do so would be terrifying if they were on the list.

They still would be able to be defeated but it would be terrifyingly difficult.

180 clown companies...not so much.

“The End is Near” is proclaimed too much on this board by people whose own ends ARE REALLY NEAR! lol

And so I guess they don’t really care if it is anyway.

Wonder if these same people would have talked NON STOP about the end being near when they were young and raising their kids and life was grand.

It’s a selfish, not SELFLESS attitude to have now that their best years are behind them.

Leftist political talking points all:

1. “reproductive health care” is the Left’s way of pretending to talk about “reproductive health care” when what the primarily mean, what they are truly focused on is abortion. THEY want abortion perpetually kinked to “health care” when that is only one view suggesting such a link is necessary for “good health”.

“it’s time for companies to stand up for reproductive health care.”

2. “comprehensive care” is (a) the Left’s way of demanding that there is no “comprehensive care” if health care does not include abortion on demand, and (b) suggesting that lack of abortion on demand as part of health care is an economic necessity; which it is not.

“They argue that limiting access to comprehensive care, ‘including abortion,’ threatens “the health, independence, and economic stability of our employees and customers.”

3. When they speak of “diversity” and values that does not include the true diversity of values that includes opposition to abortion. They are ALWAYS hypocrites whenever the utter the word “diversity”.

“The letter says strict abortion laws are “against our values” and impede corporate efforts to build diverse workforces.

108,000 workers, ‘eh?
I bet many of those 108k are not appreciative of being represented in this manner.

The list speaks for itself . . .I am commenting on their moral bent. The Fortune 500 can’t be without some with the same mindset as those listed. It just shows you how far we fallen.
