Amazon, DoorDash, and CVS Health have donated a total of $425,000 to the Republican Attorneys General Association (Raga) in 2024. This group supports Todd Rokita, Indiana's attorney general, who advocates for a total abortion ban. These companies, which publicly support reproductive rights, have also contributed to Rokita's campaign despite his controversial actions, including criticism of a doctor who provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim. Other companies like Altria, AT&T, and Comcast have made similar donations. The donations have raised concerns about the alignment of corporate values with political contributions. Critics argue that these funds help elect officials who promote policies contrary to the companies' stated commitments to reproductive rights and climate action.
