Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz are upping the ante in their attempt to make the state one of the most abortion-friendly in the nation. The duo sent an open letter inviting business owners from across the country to relocate to the state, noting the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has had “far-reaching implications” for business owners.
“For many of you, we can imagine that new restrictions will feel like a betrayal and cause concern about where to live and work. Customers and employees alike will be attracted to states that protect reproductive rights for all,” they wrote.
“We are writing to any business owner that is disappointed in the stance of their current state,” they continued “If you are looking to relocate to a state that supports the rights of women and whose actions and laws are unwavering in support of tolerance and inclusivity, Connecticut is for you.”
Lamont also released a video message to correspond with the written letter, posting it on Twitter. To any business in states banning abortion: Come to Connecticut. The right to choose is safe here AND once your workers decide they want to have a family, we are the most family friendly state in the country with paid family leave, quality childcare, & the best public schools. pic.twitter.com/2h44casOHt — Governor Ned Lamont (@GovNedLamont) July 1, 2022 “With the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, there are many states across the country outlawing the woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices,” he said. “Not here in Connecticut. Not as long as I’m governor.”
In a twist of irony, Lamont and Bysiewicz then laud Connecticut as one of the most “family-friendly” states in the country, citing things like good schools, paid family leave, and affordable daycare. While these perks […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
