Talk:Genesis 26

The Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA) recently sponsored a shareholder proposal for supermarket chain Albertsons, in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade stated “[Employees] who cannot access abortion when needed are three times more likely to leave the workforce, and four times as likely to slip into poverty.”

PROPOSAL 6: Stockholder Proposal for a Report on Risks of State Policies on Reproductive Health Care

The Presbyterian Church, (U.S.A.) through its Board of Pensions (“the Proponent”), has set forth “Proposal 6” at our Annual Meeting.

WHEREAS: Comprehensive reproductive health care is essential for workers and their families, ... Nationwide, more than 171,000 patients traveled out of state to obtain abortion care in 2023 (https://bit.ly/3YlILfH). Employers also bear the cost of restricted abortion access."

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “AGAINST” Proposal 6 Because Albertsons already:

• Offers Comprehensive and Competitive Health Benefits.
• Continuously Monitors Changes to Applicable Laws and Regulations
• The Proposal Imposes Unnecessary Burdens Without Any Meaningful Benefit

"The scope of the requested report is overly broad and burdensome. "
