I thought, at the time the Supreme Court dissolved the right for every American woman to have a safe and legal abortion, which companies would regret their migration to states like Texas.
Now is an opportunity for Blue States to extend invitations to companies that may have left the state. The Republicans never thought it through as to what may happen in the wake of the practice and policy of extremism.
I am not surprised Governor Baker is looking to bring business back to Massachusetts or new business wanting to make the move. One of the reasons business in the USA flourishes is because of the large number of consumers, but, also because of freedom. Companies have less management concerns in the USA and are heard in DC to their hurdles to prosperity. Not that all decisions side with corporations, but, they do have a voice.
Oppression; yes it is oppression; such as the cancelling of Roe v. Wade makes doing business and maintaining employees more difficult. Women employees will become less desirable. Women will find it more difficult to be employed. Pregnant women in the work place will be common place and will add to a negative impact on companies with medical and family leave. It is possible to drain an entire office if there are women all become pregnant at the same time. Don't say it can happen, the birth rate after a long electrical black out increases nine months later.
No one in their right minds will want to live in a state such as Texas where rights of citizens are fluid and chronically under threat. The Bible Belt of the USA has always been the highest level of poverty and now it is clear as to why.

“I do believe that having listened to and heard from a lot of companies over the course of the past several days about what this decision means with respect to their workforces and their benefit plans, that .there may in fact be a big opportunity here for Massachusetts to encourage some employers to either come here or expand their footprint here, as we are a state that takes this issue seriously,” Baker said....
