Register for our next virtual briefing for corporate allies
November 8, 2023 from 4-5 pm ET
We have passed the one-year mark since the reversal of Roe v. Wade; the private sector continues to play an important role in access to this healthcare, including supporting public policy that addresses the uncertainty and chaos in the current operating environment.
Attendees will be vetted, no media permitted. You and your company’s name will be kept confidential.

It's time for companies to stand up for reproductive healthcare

- More than half of young women are making plans about where to live based on whether abortion is accessible in a state.
- 65% of college-educated workers say that they would be discouraged from taking a job in a state where politicians are trying to restrict access to reproductive care.
- Economic losses from existing reproductive care restrictions, including labor force impact and earnings, already cost state economies an estimated $105 billion annually.

Read the Statement
Equality in the workplace is one of the most important business issues of our time.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our workers and customers.
When everyone is empowered to succeed, our companies, our communities, and our economy are better for it.
The economic losses from existing abortion restrictions, including labor force impact and earnings, already cost state economies across the nation an estimated $105 billion annually.*
Simply put, public policies that restrict reproductive health care, including the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, go against our values and are bad for business. It impairs our ability to build diverse and inclusive workforce pipelines, recruit top talent across states, and protect the well-being of all the people who keep our businesses thriving day in and out
The future of gender equality hangs in the balance, putting our families, communities, businesses, and the economy at risk.
We stand against policies that hinder people’s health, independence, and ability to fully succeed in the workplace.
