Corps want to appeal to talent by offering comprehensive benefits and appearing to be acting in the interests of the majority, while supporting WHOMEVER is in power to help ensure their business interests are represented. I can't think of anything other than employees and other stakeholders demanding change by their employees will modify their behavior (i.e. the interests of your talent is of greater import than regulatory and tax regimes). Calling out an employer is dicey for obvious reasons. Curious what other people think. Naming and shaming by outsiders seems to have limited effect.
The hypocrisy of corporations & their Ceos clearly runs deep & always towards self interest. Principles are lacking overall, on the upper most levels in corporate board rooms.
Thank you Judd for making us that much more aware, of the widespread hypocrisy of corporate America & their leadership. Perhaps it's time to call them out individually; on the notion that you financially support judges who vote against abortion; while publicly parade as pro choice.
I suppose when you are part of the upper echelon of a major corporation, it's not a big deal to fly your ( insert) daughter, wife, girlfriend, mistress) comfortably on the corporate jet to whatever state hundreds or thousands of miles away, that will take care of your "problem" legally, quietly, painlessly. While in some restrictive, bible thumping, Southern or Midwestern state, where there's already a dearth of substandard medical care available for pregnancies going full term...like Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama etc. (especially in the case of poor women/ women of color in particular) low income women must struggle to find a way to afford to pay for the procedure, as well as come up with funds for travel, lodging & time off from work. Hope all goes ok during a particularly sad & difficult time. Often doing so alone in a city they're unfamiliar with, hundreds or a thousand miles away. Or you risk all the ramifications of an illegal abortion, much like women were relegated to prior 1973.
The disparities in America respect to income, opportunity, education & availability of good healthcare, nevermind healthcare in general are dismaying....and damning.
Born in 1955, at 67, I would have hoped America would have matured in it's thinking by now & recognized how improving "good" medical care availability, better higher education at a reasonable cost, clean drinking water for everyone, and yes..choice/ autonomy over your body & life decisions, would have been a fore-gone conclusion. Yet we're still having "pissing"matches in court, in the legislatures, state & federal about who makes very personal life choices for you & I. What does this say about us as a people & a nation. Not a lot.

And in reply to your last sentence Bonnie, "and not much of it good."
