Over 50 companies on Tuesday released a statement in opposition to Texas‘ controversial new abortion law, which outlaws the procedure as early as six weeks and allows private citizens to file lawsuits against those involved in the procedure. The businesses, which include technology, venture capital, retail and consulting firms, have a combined workforce of more than 322,000 employees, according to the coalition Don’t Ban Equality, which organized the statement. „Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our workers and customers,“ the statement says. „We stand against policies that hinder people’s health, independence and ability to fully succeed in the workplace.“ Among the dozens of companies that signed on to the statement are Lyft, Bumble, Yelp, Glossier, Patagonia, Asana, Vice Media Group, Box Inc.
