Uphold Individual Healthcare Rights, Oppose Corporate Tax Penalties

To: Sen. Kelly, Sen. Sinema

From: A verified voter in Tucson, AZ

July 20

No Tax Breaks for Corporate Activism Impacting Reproductive Rights and Youth Healthcare (S. 187) This legislation S. 187 aims to deny business expense deductions for reimbursements related to abortion travel and gender transition procedures for employees' minor children. However, it carves out exceptions for treating injuries, illnesses, and life-threatening conditions, as well as "corrective" procedures for intersex traits. While limiting financial implications for corporate advocacy is a stated goal, the bill risks infringing on reproductive rights and restricting access to gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth - practices supported by major medical associations. A more balanced approach would be to uphold individuals' rights over government overreach into private healthcare decisions between patients and doctors. Corporations should maintain the ability to support their employees' legal healthcare choices without punitive tax measures.
