The hypocrisy of abortion as a corporate perk

…  Match Group, the Dallas-based company which operates popular dating sites including Match, Tinder, Hinge, and OK Cupid, established a fund to cover the costs of out-of-state abortions after Texas banned most abortions last year. CEO Shar Dubey sent this message to Match Group’s 2500 employees in September 2021:

I immigrated to America from India over 25 years ago and I have to say, as a Texas resident, I am shocked that I now live in a state where women’s reproductive laws are more regressive than most of the world, including India. Surely everyone should see the danger of this highly punitive and unfair law that doesn’t even make an exception for victims of rape or incest…

…[T]his particular law is so regressive to the cause of women’s rights that I felt compelled to speak publicly about my personal views.

I also wanted to let you know that I am setting up a fund to ensure that if any of our Texas-based employees or a dependent find themselves impacted by this legislation and need to seek care outside of Texas, the fund will help cover the additional costs incurred.

But in 2021, Match Group also donated $137,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA). Why does that matter? RAGA, by its own admission, played a central role in Dobbs. Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch ®, a member of RAGA, was in charge of the legal strategy to eliminate the constitutional right to an abortion.

In a fundraising email last Friday, RAGA pledged that future donations would be used to further undermine abortion rights across the country. “These battles to protect the unborn will now take place at the state level, where the courageous conservative leadership of Republican Attorneys General has never been more critical,” the email says. “Every donation will help Republican Attorneys General combat the Democrats’ pro-abortion agenda and stand tall for life.“  …

Even more companies than those listed in the illustration are also talking outta both sides of their lying mouths.
