Texas Based Company Product Alternatives – For Those Who Don’t Want to Support Texas’ Assault on the Reproductive Rights and Sexual Liberties of Women and Men


Wondering how you can support #AbortionRights with your shopping dollars?

Ethical Mom tries to focus on the positive, bringing you guidance to companies and places you can feel good about buying from - where your consumer dollars will reward good behavior.

That said, we've received a number of requests from women and men - moms and dads, grandmothers and granddads and those without kids - for guidance on how to avoid supporting with their consumer spending states that are waging war on the reproductive rights and sexual liberties of women and men.

In response, we've assembled the following list of companies and products to avoid and alternative to consider, for those unhappy with the anti-abortion Taliban style attack on human liberties taken by Texas and a good number of US states.

To note - many of these companies are not responsible for the massive restriction oil human rights at play on the state they'e headquartered in.  That said, all of them seek to portray themselves as responsible corporate players.  If they really are responsible, let them show that they are by relocating to states that still respect human rights.

 

We start here with Texas based company alternatives.  We'll add additional alternate lists for other states over time.

 

For those who believe that reproductive rights and sexual freedoms are somehow at odds with true Christian belief, as taught by Jesus himself, see:  Trust Women: A Progressive Christian Argument for Reproductive Justice by Rebecca Todd Peters

Electric and Hybrid Vehicles

Toyota Prius -  Ironic, really, that Prius purchasers, who are among the most concerned about human rights and environmental protections, are supporting Texas' war on women and men by buying from Texas based Toyota Motors USA, which left California some years ago to avoid California environmental and human rights protections.  You can let Toyota know you'd like them to move out of Texas by contacting them here.

The Ford Mustang Mach E all electric car and Ford Fusion Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid are good alternatives to the Prius - and arguably much nicer cars.
