Fashion industry leaders were quick to respond to the ruling restricting abortion rights for women.

“And if we think it’s going to end here, then sadly, we are mistaken and delusional. I don’t think it would be a stretch of the imagination to say conservatives are working on the grassroots level to invalidate other fundamental rights, including LGBTQ rights, same-sex marriage rights, and rights to contraception, amongst many others….The fashion industry that profits off of women can no longer stay quiet.

“My daughter will be turning 18 just before our next election. She and her generation will need to undo the harm done by those that came before them, and to make sure the right leaders are in place to protect our human rights. Thirteen Lune will always provide safe reproductive care options for employees.”L.A.

Nicole Miller said: “It’s quite a setback for women and hopefully voters will be able to turn this around. It’s going back to the Dark Ages and [is] quite scary.” Companies are on the front lines of connecting employees with insurance to cover health care costs and some stressed that even if employees lived in states without access to abortion, they could access services elsewhere.

In a post on its website, Gap Inc. said “a strong workforce starts with the health and well-being of all our employees — 76 percent of whom are women. At a recent employee event, we shared with our teams the wide range of mental health and family planning benefits we offer — because we know it is important to support our employees, regardless of whether, how or when they decide to start a family.”

And Victoria’s Secret & Co. said: “As a company committed to being an advocate for women and championing their journeys, we believe a woman’s right to self-determination is fundamental. When women make decisions about their lives for themselves, they are able to participate fully and equally in society, families and communities grow stronger, cultures grow richer and the trajectory of the world bends toward equality. For those reasons VS & Co.

The court’s 6-3 ruling puts the decision about abortion in the states’ hands, highlighting the nation’s stark political divide, with abortion severely restricted or banned in many red states, including some with laws to be triggered after the decision such as Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee, and freely available in most blue states, including California and New York.
