A cynic might even suspect the value signal is more about marketing than deeply held belief.

It's always pretty funny to see companies like raytheon participate in pride parades, or companies that don't give any kind of realistic maternity leave talk about roe v wade.

The trend of “we’ll pay for your abortion, but won’t make it tolerable to be a working mom” is extremely gross.

I do not see why it is gross. Employees have more utility if they get an abortion and less utility if they have to spend time out for parental leave.

If society wants to promote parenting, then society should pass laws about parental leave. Individual businesses have no obligation to reduce their competitiveness in the marketplace.
