This!

corporations have been pandering and virtue signaling to customers for decades, this is far from new

Same reason that they push pride, blm, and every other cause du jour. because they're afraid of blue check marks and the loud 1%

A company's job is to make products and make money. Why are they commenting and making statements on whether abortion should be allowed or not? How does this help the company make better products or make higher profits?

My LinkedIn is full of companies expressing "horror" over the recent judgment.

The other one is Pride. Why should a company care about who is f**** ing whom? They only thing relevant to a company is to make sure LGBT people are not discriminated against. No one should be discriminated against. As a racial minority, I have been discriminated against for years, they don't address that.

Because:

a. Their big investors, parent companies, and venture capitalist types that are on their boards are giving them their ESG and DEI marching orders.

b. Their boards have also been infiltrated by extreme progressives who have pooled their voting capital to place lefty sympathizers on each of their boards.

This. But also, because they can knowing that it's what they're shareholders want to see. It's not about what what goods they'll sell from their statements, it's how their stock will do.

I don't know exactly. However, while my business does not have a lot of employees, I can see why they might. If I had a large number of employees, and they were a certain demographic (gender, political orientation, social status), I would be evaluating the potential costs of the SCOTUS decision and how it relates to the state I do business in. I would be doing what I needed to do to ensure my bottom line stayed healthy, up to and including paying for certain services out of pocket. The fact is that in some instances, having employees do stupid things in stupid places could result in a higher insurance cost for me as an employer. I would simpy do what I thought was best for business. As for how any given employee wishes to proceed with their pregnancy, that is none of my business. How any given employee is sexually oriented, also none of my business. I care not about either aside from how it affects financial forecasts.

It's easy for me as a regular joe to judge others on how they act based on my religious and political orientation. However, it's also very easy for me to throw that aside when it comes to affecting profitability of a business Ive sacrificed everything to make viable.

The intersectionalist critical theory zealots have spent 2 decades infiltrating HR and marketing and now even IT and senior management.

They can't help but to opine as part of corporate policy because they have to be competitive with others and the leftists that they employ and that are some of their customers DEMAND to be affirmed and be virtue signaled to. Also, activists needlessly bombard even moderate or reasonable PR departments with demands for conformity and affirmation of political alignment in a purposeful attempt to manipulate or extort these statements in order to create the appearance of broad public endorsement.

Because leftists are a lynch mob.

pregnant women cost them insurance, paid maternity leave, and loss of lower wage employees (the left's words, not mine.)

they lose nothing except for extremely pro-life people by virtue signaling.

ESG scores and it's cheaper to pay for abortions than the costs associated health insurance for birth, maternity leave, and child care expenses.

For the last five or six years they've just all become political. Many of them are liberally owned and lead and they hated Trump and they just all went absolutely ****ing bonkers when he became president

And then after he made America literally a better place to be in for everyone they accused him of things he didn't do and now they're doubling down.

Trump literally broke these people. And now after the **** show we have seen over the last year and a half they still can't admit how horrible democratic policies are even for their own businesses.

Liberals are not happy unless they are ruining someone else's lives. We've seen it in sports, we've seen it in every company. There's nothing you can't use today who's company isn't some liberal bastion of bull*****

Liberal Politics really has ruined everything to a point. But I would just suggest you ignore most of it and live your life like you want.

Personally I think cancel culture and boycotts are stupid. Not everybody shares that belief and that's OK.

Don't ruin your life or quit doing things you enjoy just to get back at some insane liberal who couldn't care less anyway.

It's absolutely ESG, pushed by the democrat political errrrrr Diversity officer. How come, not a single corporation came out and said if you can't get an ar15 in New York, we will pay for you to go to Texas and get one.

Because by supporting anti-family policies, they can keep the workforce diluted for cheap wages. Gott keep that #girlboss false dream alive…

Bull***** Not ike this..

Because HR has been let out of their hole and elevated to the C-Suite level.

Liberal white women, effeminate soy boys, and women of color all working together to destroy profits in their desire to push their socialism on the workforce.

HR needs to be told to sit down and shut up.

The WEF advocates for conglomerating all services into only a select few global mega-corporations. Those corporations are all interviewing for the job.

Came here to post just this.

Maternity Leave is costly. Abortion saves them massive amounts of $.

These corporations know that conservatives will never really boycott or refuse their products and services...not in any significant numbers at least. Unhappy leftists actually pose a threat.

It's way past time to stop blaming HR, PR and marketing for these types of statements.

The buck stops at the C-suite and the board of directors. They are the ones giving the green light to all these virtue-signaling announcements.

All it would take is a few high-profile CEOs to sack up and say "no, we're not doing that" and a lot of this foolishness would fade away.

The truth is that there are probably a lot of chief executives who are uncomfortable with the political winds. But they are too weak to stand up.

This is the latest BLM, CRT, Pride, etc. that corporations have to jump on to not get out-woked by their competitors. In my industry, I read about many national law firms joining in on the "we'll pay your abortion expenses" bandwagons. Most are HQ'ed in lib hotbeds like NYC or Cali, but also included a Houston-based firm that was kind of a surprise.

So I'm wondering how these reimbursements are going to work, since anyone putting in for travel expenses will have to reveal they had an abortion. While some seem proud of it and flaunt it, it is a pretty private and sometimes embarrassing event for most.

Kind of goes against "What I do with my body is my business and no one else's" when you have to tell your boss or HR what you did with your body to get your money.

Because that is what Larry Fink and Blackrock want them to do.

If women start having kids they will have more voices for added maternity leave, child care benefits, and work flexibility.

If the corporations can keep young women incentivized to use abortion as birth control they keep them in the workforce cheaper.

Seems like this would most directly impact hourly workers on the lower income side that work in retail.

All part of ESG and Great Reset.

I think I agree with you. HR makes all these silly schemes and plans to keep themselves employed. But the C suite needs to call bs on this. Until now, they are not as they are scared and making money themselves. Satya Nadella of Microsoft had a chance but he muffed it up. Google Pichai kicked out a few activists so he's probably doing better.

The real answer. If they don't, they lose their largest investors.

It is extortion by the ueber rich to force companies to conform to their political will.
