Equality in the workplace is one of the most important economic issues of our time.
Don’t Ban Equality is a coalition of 1,000+ businesses, large to small, located in all 50 states, publicly traded and private, U.S. based and globally headquartered, making the case that abortion access is a workforce and economic issue.
Worker Sentiment
By a 2:1 margin, employed adults prefer to live in a state where abortion is legal and accessible, and two-thirds of college educated workers will not take or apply for jobs in restrictive states.
Public Support
Recent data affirms broad national support for abortion — Gallup polls show 85% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in at least certain circumstances.
Cost of Living
Nearly 9 in 10 people (87%) prefer that the government improve conditions for parenthood (cost of healthcare, cost of living, cost of childcare, paid leave, etc.) over banning or criminalizing abortion.
Economic Impact
The economic losses from existing abortion restrictions, including labor force impact and earnings, cost state economies more than an estimated $140 billion annually
What does it mean to be a good state for business?
CNBC's 2026 Top States for Business puts Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, and Minnesota at the top of the list. Fortune cites the factors in a state’s ranking are things like its infrastructure, workforce, and regulatory environment, but within the “quality of life” category there’s another contributor: abortion rights.
Of the top five states in the most recent scorecard, four have some degree of protected abortion rights but Texas has a ban on abortion and has fallen in its ranking over the last several years.
These businesses stand with Don’t Ban Equality
These are just some of the businesses that understand that restricting reproductive healthcare negatively affects workplace health & safety, building a diverse and inclusive workforce; recruiting talent across states, and the financial stability of workers, consumers and communities.
