The U.S. Supreme Court may have overturned Roe v. Wade, but abortion has not been completely eliminated — not if leftists in corporate America have anything to say about it, at least.
Following the collapse of Roe, many businesses reportedly announced funding for abortion-related travel expenses, in a major victory for leftists pushing corporate America to adopt woke environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.
ESGs provide a smokescreen for left-wing bigwigs in C-suites to force radical leftist politics on shareholders, according to former McDonald’s CEO Edward Rensi. Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks called ESG “the greatest threat to our freedoms in America today without question,” during an exclusive interview with MRC Business.
MRC Business tallied at least 40 major corporations that have reportedly vowed to fund abortion-related travel expenses for employees following the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that overturned Roe.
Disney, one of the most notorious left-wing companies utilizing ESGs, assured employees that it would provide them with abortion travel benefits in a statement obtained by CNBC and issued the same day as the Dobbs decision. Footwear company Nike told MRC Business on June 28 that “We cover travel and lodging expenses in situations where services” — abortions — “are not available close to home.” Even DoorDash, a food delivery company, jumped into the preborn baby-killing fight.
“Because safe abortion procedures may become severely limited in more states, DoorDash will cover certain travel-related expenses for employees who face new barriers to access and need to travel out of state for abortion-related care,” a DoorDash spokesperson told MRC Business in a June 28 email.
