CEOs and cofounders of women’s health companies are speaking out against the wave of state abortion bans and challenging corporate America to join them in standing up for reproductive rights
to promote sexual well-being. I’ve worked at Planned Parenthood. It’s never an easy decision. I’ve held the hands of women during their procedures. I know the gravity of their decisions and safety we offered them on one of their darkest days. Our hearts are heavy because we know what these policies mean for the lives of women,” said Fine of Dame. “We need to trust women and the decisions they make on their own behalf,” added Auerbach and Denae of Clary.
Molly Hayward, founder of Cora, emphasized the need to speak up, “When states interfere in the personal medical decisions of a woman, women are oppressed and unequal. At Cora, we have always advocated for the liberation of women by providing access to health education and millions of menstrual products to girls in need around the world and here in the U.S.”The conversation around abortion is multifaceted and not an easy one.
“History has shown us that banning abortions has never made them inaccessible to the wealthy and privileged in our society, but rather makes them unavailable or extremely unsafe to lower income families and underrepresented individuals,”Companies and business leaders need to stand up and pick a side: do they support a person’s right to choice, or will they stay silent? At THINX Inc.
Additionally, reproductive rights advocates claim that it is precisely supporters of termination bans that are blocking important initiatives aimed at reducing health issues related to social determinants of health, as well as supporting non-scientific, abstinence focused sexual health education in high schools and defunding sexual health prevention campaigns by organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
