Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Lieutenant Governor Susan\u00a0Bysiewicz are upping the ante in their attempt to make the state one of the most abortion-friendly in the nation. The duo sent an open letter<\/a> inviting business owners from across the country to relocate to the state, noting the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em> has had “far-reaching implications” for business owners.<\/p>\n

“For many of you, we can imagine that new restrictions will feel like a betrayal and cause concern about where to live and work. Customers and employees alike will be attracted to states that protect reproductive rights for all,” they wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are writing to any business owner that is disappointed in the stance of their current state,” they continued “If you are looking to relocate to a state that supports the rights of women and whose actions and laws are unwavering in support of tolerance and inclusivity, Connecticut is for you.”<\/p>\n

Lamont also released a video message to correspond with the written letter, posting it on Twitter.<\/p>\n

To any business in states banning abortion: Come to Connecticut. <\/p>\n

The right to choose is safe here AND once your workers decide they want to have a family, we are the most family friendly state in the country with paid family leave, quality childcare, & the best public schools. pic.twitter.com\/2h44casOHt<\/a><\/p>\n
