Dozens of businesses are going public with their opposition to a new Texas law that bars abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy, a move that follows weeks of debate inside companies about how to respond.

Employers including ride-sharing service Lyft Inc., cloud-storage company Box Inc., online fashion retailer Stitch Fix Inc. and investment group Trillium Asset Management LLC signed a statement set to be released Tuesday that says “restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our workers and customers.”…

The statement doesn’t call for any specific action. Its organizers say it is intended, in part, to show other states considering new abortion laws that they can cause economic harm, such as by hindering employers’ ability to recruit workers from out of state. Many of the signatories aren’t based in Texas, though a number of them have operations or employees in the state.

For some companies, the statement represents their first public comments on the Texas abortion law. Many employers have been largely silent since it went into effect earlier this month. Some worried about taking a stand on the issue, fearing potential blowback from customers or employees, executives said. Others, like the Greater Houston Partnership, a business group, waded into polarizing debates on voting access earlier this year that divided their members, and haven’t taken a position on the Texas Heartbeat Act, also known as SB 8.
