The Corporations Backing Alabama's War on Women

On Wednesday, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a draconian bill that would effectively ban all abortions in the state. The radical legislation would be a dramatic step backward for women's rights and gender equality -- banning abortion even in cases of rape or incest. Doctors who perform abortions in Alabama could face up to 99 years in jail.

The effort was spearheaded by Alabama's Republican leadership: Speaker Mac McCutcheon, Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter, Senate President (and Lt. Governor) Will Ainsworth, and Majority Leader Greg Reed. The bill was sponsored by a Republican Senator, Clyde Chambliss.

Meanwhile, some of America's most prominent corporations are backing these politicians -- and their war on women's rights -- with campaign cash. These are the same companies that publicly claim to support gender equality and women's rights.....

5. Adding Compass Bank to my list

They're headquartered in Birmingham, and they've given predominantly to republicans election after election. This includes state leadership in Alabama, and various unnerving right wing idiots in my own backslid state.

Am shopping for a credit union right now. Will feel so good to tell them why we're closing the account.

6. Yes, they are my bank

I need to change that soon.
