It&#8217;ll even pay employees to get a tattoo of the company logo. So if you want to be a walking billboard for your employer, &amp;Pizza will foot the bill. But if you&#8217;re pregnant with a child, tough luck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in fact, Cotton pointed out the majority of Americans do not agree with the kind of abortion agenda the CEOs want to enforce on their employees, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kofc.org\/un\/en\/resources\/communications\/american-attitudes-abortion-knights-of-columbus-marist-poll-slides.pdf\">recent polls<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat should never happen, though, is billion-dollar corporations trying to dictate these moral questions to us. Politically correct CEOs shouldn\u2019t be in the business of threatening normal Americans. But that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ve seen lately. The loudest objections to these pro-life laws haven&#8217;t come from the &#8216;bottom up&#8217; &#8212; from normal citizens who happen to disagree with one another &#8212; but from the &#8216;top down&#8217;; from cultural elites, and increasingly from giant corporations who wield their economic power as a weapon to punish the American people for daring to challenge their pro-abortion extremism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What happens in the workplace when women are expected to be like men is that children will be viewed as a hindrance to the company&#8217;s bottom line &#8212; and abortion helps to perpetuate the idea that women are somehow &#8220;broken&#8221; due to their ability to bear children.<\/p>\n<p>But the pro-life movement is accustomed to flowering in the face of this kind of adversity, and Cotton ended on a positive note. \u201cDespite the pressure campaign waged against us, I\u2019m heartened, because I know the pro-life movement will carry on as it always has, speaking to the inherent dignity of every human life. Not everything can be measured on a corporate balance sheet. Some things are bigger and more important than the bottom line or what wealthy, politically correct corporations consider \u2018bad for business.\u2019 The cause of life is one of those issues worth fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/liveactionnewsonline\/\">\u201cLike\u201d Live Action News on Facebook<\/a>\u00a0for more
