The Times reports that blue-state governors have begun “depicting their abortion rights policies as a business advantage, reinforcing the appeal of the wealthier and more progressive states that many businesses opt to call home in spite of their taxes.” Illinois Gov. J.B.
No one expects MAGA governors such as Greg Abbott of Texas to suddenly recognize the connection between progressive social policies and economic success. He and his fellow forced-birth advocates are more likely to demonize “woke” companies that want to protect employees’ reproductive rights than to reconsider the economic implications of treating women like second-class citizens.
