These 13 corporations have spent $15 million supporting anti-abortion politicians since 2016

A draft Supreme Court opinion, published by Politico on Monday evening, would strike down Roe v. Wade — eliminating the constitutional protections for abortion that have been in place for 48 years. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito writes. Alito's position reportedly has the support of four other conservative Justices. That group includes three Justices recently appointed by former President Trump, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
So, in other words, they’re all hedging their bets. And, as citizens and consumers, regardless of our personal stance, we are all supporting these anti-abortion politicians with our purchases too. With nearly no competitor companies to go to instead. 🤬
Maybe it’s just me, but before Covid, Cuomo and his role as chair of the National Governors’ Association, I never gave any governors’ association one thought and TBH am not sure I realized they existed. And then the RGA came to light in 2020. And now we realize they are a top recipient of corporate political donations. I’m not surprised, but on this gray, rainy day, I’m feeling like life is a board game and other players are using loaded dice as I naively watch.
It’s depressing to read these reports. The outward statements and support for women in the one hand, and yet the promotion of the opponent in the other, how do we reckon with this? Are these same companies also giving to more progressive organizations and candidates? Is there some balance they try to make because they are a business? When I think about the financials of Amazon, for instance, a multi-million (or perhaps multi-billion) business, $1mil in donations over 6 years is a drop in the bucket.
And with a list as expansive as this one touching a wide spectrum of where we spend our money, how do we ever avoid them?
So it is depressing every day I read your reports. I don’t know how to live.
They’ve got us surrounded. Time for serious economic action. Do not buy from these people. As the Ukrainians know, it’s not easy, but we only face inconvenience, not bullets and bombs.
We are horrified but we all know they feel like they have to play the game. What I really want to know is how much did they donate to their Democratic counterparts? I need my facts in hand before I start moving accounts. Thanks, Judd!
Rip Van Winkles need to “wake up” make the sacrifices and stop spending money with these companies that are obviously using it to deny you your freedoms!!

Thx Judd, as always.
We need to bring this information to the rallies. We need the companies to explain their hypocrisy.
We need to keep breathing bc this is more exhaustion.

Another important reason to get money OUT of politics!

Great work Judd. Hoping this gets picked up by bigger outlets. This needs to be seen
Do these corporations donate to Democrat committees too? How much? More, less, equal?
Aww the both sides of the field these disgusting 1% corps play. They should be called out on every turn.
Thanks for doing it since the MSM caves to their 1% ownership.

Hedging bets in the financial realm is one thing. This is not that. A baker's dozen of billion-dollar hypocrites.
