Roe v. Wade, many misguided corporations have jumped at the virtue-signaling opportunity of a lifetime and announced that they are willing to pay thousands of dollars for employees to travel to a state where abortion is still legal in order to end the life of their pre-born child.
Pro-life investors have flooded our inbox in the few days since the SCOTUS decision asking how they can find out if they own stocks in these “abortion travel” companies through their mutual funds, 401k or other investment accounts, and if so, how they can push back. The good news is that it is a simple task to align your investment portfolio to support life, and together pro-life investors are sending a strong message that is making waves in corporate board rooms. The bad news is that if you have never looked at your investments through this lens before, you are in for a shock.
Step 1: Find abortion travel companies in your investment portfolio
The first step in pushing back on abortion travel companies in your investment portfolio is to find out which ones you own. This is the hardest part, but with the free investment screening technology at inspireinsight.com anyone can quickly identify the companies that are profiting from and supporting abortion in their portfolios simply by typing in the ticker symbols of their investment holdings.
Below is a list of companies that have already made public announcements of their abortion travel employee “benefits.” This is a rapidly evolving topic, and our research team at Inspire will be updating this data on a regular basis and publishing it at inspireinsight.com so that pro-life investors can be empowered with the data to align their portfolios to support life and make it uncomfortable and unpopular for companies to continue paying their employees to terminate the life of their pre-born children. If you become aware of a company that should be on this list and is not, please email us at inspire@inspireinvesting.com so we can investigate and add them; we appreciate the additional eyes and ears on this important and quick-moving issue.

Step 2: Send a message through shareholder activism
Once you find out what companies in your investment portfolio are supporting abortion by paying for employees to travel for an abortion procedure, among other pro-abortion policies and donations, you should send a message (literally and figuratively) to those companies. An easy way to do this is to find the investor relations email or phone number on the corporate website and make contact. Here are some bullet points for you to consider in your message to these abortion-supporting businesses:
Abortion ends the life of a pre-born child and you are deeply opposed to your shareholder dollars being used to pay for such a procedure.
Abortion travel reimbursements are rife with tax and legal liabilities, and as a shareholder, you are concerned that the company is not acting responsibly with shareholders’ best interests in mind.
Abortion travel policies present a significant financial liability that may materially erode your returns as a shareholder.
Abortion travel policies open the door for costly abuse and fraud as companies likely will not be able to receive proof that employees actually used the money to have an abortion, rather than just a free trip to sunny California on your shareholder dime.
Inform the company that if they refuse to stop payments for abortion travel you will be divesting of your shares – or – if you own individual shares (rather than a mutual fund) and it is possible with that particular company, that you will be supporting a shareholder resolution to end that policy.
Step 3: Divest from or engage with abortion-supporting companies
