The Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was a long-awaited victory for life. While Dobbs did not make abortion illegal, it did empower the residents of all 50 states to democratically determine abortion's legal status through their elected representatives. Currently, 22 states provide or will soon provide protection for unborn children. The other 28 states place few or no limits on abortion. The abortion battle will now move to the ballot box in each state.

But don't fall for the deceptively appealing belief that this battle will be limited to the political arena. According to a recent Harvard Harris poll, 72% of Americans believe abortion should be illegal, or legal only with restrictions. The Left is well aware that a majority of states will pass at least some abortion restrictions in the coming months. On this issue, democracy is not their friend.

So, the Left is employing an autocratic means to impose its will – "woke capitalism," sometimes referred to as "stakeholder capitalism." These terms sound compelling, even virtuous, but each is a ruse to conceal the Left's disdain for the inconvenience of real democracy.

Woke capitalism attempts to reorient modern corporations from their traditional responsibility to generate returns for investors to a new mission of supporting leftist political activism. The Left has utilized this approach when advancing radical environmental policies, opposing Georgia's voter-fraud protections, or challenging Florida's law restricting instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation through the third grade.
