To hear her tell it, pro-lifers are trying to force people to get pregnant so that &#8230; corporations can have a slave labor force? If that were the case, why would most corporations hold the same position on abortion that Ocasio-Cortez does? <\/p>\n<p>Several major companies and corporations announced after the overturning of Roe v. Wade that they would pay for employees to travel out-of-state for abortions if their state imposed restrictions on abortion. That <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/abortion-travel-companies-paying-benefits-amazon-starbucks-target\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">includes<\/a> Amazon, Bank of America, Bumble, Cigna, Citigroup, Conde Nast, CVS Health, Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods, Disney, Estee Lauder, Goldman Sachs, Hewlett Packard, JPMorgan Chase, Kroger, Lyft, MasterCard, Meta (the company formerly known as Facebook), Microsoft, Paramount, Starbucks, Target, and Tesla.<\/p>\n<p>It also includes media companies such as <i>BuzzFeed<\/i>, CNN, the <i>New York Times<\/i>, and Vox Media. So, if this is a \u201cclass struggle,\u201d as Ocasio-Cortez claims, how is it that banks, Big Tech, retail giants, and the establishment media ended up on her side?<\/p>\n<p>Corporations would rather reimburse workers for traveling from Texas to California to have their unborn child killed than to have to pay for parental leave or find replacements while their workers take maternity leave. Amazon, for example, <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutamazon.com\/news\/workplace\/what-20-weeks-of-fully-paid-leave-does-for-amazon-families\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offers<\/a> up to five months of fully paid leave for \u201cbirthing parents\u201d (that&#8217;s &#8220;mothers&#8221; in normal, non-woke English) and up to six weeks for supporting parents. If a man and a woman in a relationship both work for Amazon and the woman becomes pregnant, the company is looking at paying them for 26 weeks of no work. It\u2019s much cheaper for a corporation to offer $4,000 for an out-of-state abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s conspiracy theory about pro-lifers wanting a slave labor force for corporations is every bit as implausible and delusional as it sounds. But it is probably the only way she can mask the fact that she takes the side of the rich and powerful against the most vulnerable. If anyone is supporting a \u201cconscripted\u201d workforce, it is Ocasio-Cortez, who supports <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\">businesses<\/a> paying women to get rid of their unborn children so they can get back to work on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>While Democrats pretend they are the party of the poor and downtrodden, their positions are increasingly shared by corporate giants, the media establishment, celebrities, the entire entertainment industry, and higher education.
