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.'

This is pure BS. Like all drug companies that are American owned most likely all their products are made overseas. What they are taking about is white collar jobs and those will shrink in the future do to the development of Artificial Intelligence that does the job.

Sounds like they are setting up a abortion tourism resort destination. Maybe they can sell tickets too. /s

Time for the baby killers to move on. I recommend Cauliphonya. They love abortions in Cauliphonya.

When gun manufacturers do this, the far left toads in the DNC’s “mainstream media” says it’s no big deal. The baby killers do it and it’s the end of the friggin’ world.

I am very familiar with this company’s operation in Indiana as I worked for them for 15 years. Colonel Eli Lilly has been spinning in his grave for awhile now. I watched as the HR department was taken over by a cabal of radical lesbians. They lead corporate management around from one woke cause to another.

Unlike most of the other major pharma companies, the exec leadership of Lilly is pro-free market and overwhelmingly Republican. But like all pharma, it’s a creature of the state, and Lilly has to pay fealty to it.

You’re right. It doesn’t sound to me like they’ve made up their minds. That’s a fake headline.

It began with D. Connelly, who led HR before becoming the President of the US affiliate. She was a senior member of the pharma industry’s “sisterhood of the traveling pantsuit”.

Legislation is needed to de-politicize big corporation management.

Healthcare company Eli Lily favors killing babies... in others words they’re not a Healthcare company.

When the most important thing in the world to you is being able to legally kill unborn babies, your a sick and twisted bastard.

Eli Lilly has to go some place where their role in the abortion body parts research is acceptable.... Maybe some enclave of pacific island headhunters?
