Business Owners Need To Be Ready To Speak Up On Abortion

Let’s talk business.

In the last some-odd days, there has been an outpouring of entirely justified anger, sadness, and pain in response to the revelation that the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade. Much of the anger has been righteous, even biblical, calling down the heavens upon the head of every conservative Supreme Court justice who ever called the case settled law. To be clear, banning vital, lifesaving medical care, infringing on bodily autonomy, and taking away the right to choose is abhorrent. Full stop. All it does is hurt people in need of abortions and in turn children and families. The harm a decision like this will cause—which will disproportionately impact poor women, BIPOC women, and other marginalized people—is terrifying.
