“<\/span>Avow<\/span><\/a>,” a pro-abortion political action and education nonprofit formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, has created a benefit package that pays a yearly stipend for employees’ abortions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>an interview with ReproJobs<\/span><\/a>, Avow executive director Aimee Arrambide explained the benefits package. “It was my goal upon starting this job to make sure the staff was whole,” she said, explaining, “Some of the benefits included are employer-paid health, dental, vision, STD, LTD insurance, retirement match of 3%, flex time with core hours, remote working, unlimited paid time off, a three-month paid sabbatical after five years, six-month paid family leave, <\/span>a $3,000 abortion stipend per year<\/b>.” (emphasis added). The stipend covers abortions for employees as well as their family members.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lila Rose, President and Founder of Live Action, responded:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an abhorrent policy. Abortion \u2018benefits\u2019 no one. Benefits are offered to save lives and allow for human thriving – abortion ends lives. This $3k stipend should be put towards life saving benefits and care of pregnant women, not the starvation, dismemberment, and death of their children.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Three thousand dollars is enough to cover <\/span>one or more later abortions<\/span><\/a> or multiple first-trimester abortions.<\/span><\/p>\n
