On Tuesday, over 50 companies signed a letter titled “Don’t Ban Equality,” which argues that abortion restrictions are bad for business—marking the largest outcry yet from the business sector against the controversial bill.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our workers and customers.
The economic losses from existing abortion restrictions, including labor force impact and earnings, already cost the State of Texas an estimated $14.5 billion annually. Nationally, state-level restrictions cost state economies $105 billion dollars per year. The future of gender equality hangs in the balance, putting our families, communities, businesses and the economy at risk.
We, the undersigned, stand against policies that hinder people’s health, independence, and ability to fully succeed in the workplace.
