Politicians supporting bds

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the government would support the pro-abortion bill 'wholeheartedly' PARIS - Politicians representing a parliamentary majority on Saturday voiced support for a bill enshrining abortion rights in France's constitution, after the US Supreme Court revoked the nationwide legal protection for American women to terminate pregnancies. The landmark ruling by the conservative-majority court on Friday overturned almost five decades of constitutional protections for abortion in the United States, allowing individual states to regulate the procedure. The American religious right had never accepted the previous 1973 "Roe v.

France was one of several US allies to condemn the decision, with President Emmanuel Macron denouncing a threat to women's freedom. The leader of Macron's party in parliament on Saturday said she had tabled a … [Read more...] about French government supports enshrining abortion in constitution

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Several state legislatures have recently begun punishing investment companies that take environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data into consideration when making investment decisions. Elon Musk tweeted, “ESG is a scam. It has been weaponized by phony social justice warriors.” In an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, former Vice President Mike Pence says that investing using ESG principles is politically driven and is part of a plan by the “woke left” to conquer corporate America. While all of this may be great rhetoric to motivate a political base, along with the boogeymen of CRT (Critical Race Theory) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), the question is, what is the ultimate goal of this fight and who does it benefit? In the case of the state legislatures, most are from states where fossil fuels are a major contributor to their local economies.
