A group of conservatives is calling out retail giant Walmart over its “woke policies,” such as expanding its healthcare plans to cover abortion.

Leaders of several conservative groups such as CPAC, the Susan B. Anthony List, Concerned Women for America, and the Heritage Foundation signed a letter to Doug McMillion, the president and CEO of Walmart.

“As the nation’s largest private employer and grocer, Walmart touches the lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout the freedom-loving world. Yet, millions of American consumers do not realize that by patronizing Walmart, they are funding woke policies they morally oppose,” the letter, which was first obtained by The Daily Wire, states.

The letter specifically singled out the company’s move to “provide virtually unrestricted abortion benefits” to its employees as a “perfect example” of a so-called woke policy.

Specifically, it pointed out that Walmart’s policy used to provide benefits “related to abortion” in cases “when the health of the mother would be in danger if the fetus were carried to term, the fetus could not survive the birthing process, or death would be imminent after birth.”

However, the signatories claimed that the retailer “has decided to encourage more abortions by deleting the condition that the mother’s health be in danger ‘if the fetus were carried to term.'”

“The new policy just says it will cover abortions, ‘when there is a health risk to the mother, rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or lack of fetal viability,'” the letter notes.

Read the letter below:

The signatories argue that “Walmart-support abortions are sure to increase in coming years — more babies laid at the alter of ‘choice’ because of your financial contribution.”

“It also does not escape our attention that supporting such a heinous policy conveniently keeps women at their Walmart jobs rather than at home caring for themselves and their babies,” the letter continued. “Not only is your pro-abortion policy reprehensible, but your touting of a small increase in adoption benefits as a way to atone for what you know to be an immoral, anti-woman policy is offensive, especially for women.”

Additionally, the conservatives suggested that Walmart “seems almost eager to offend mainstream conservatives” as it also pointed out the company’s “$100 million embrace of so-called ‘racial equity'” and argued it “has sadly become just another woke leftist institution.”

Finally, the letter stated, “Surely as board members with a fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders, you must understand the Walmart’s increasingly woke policies are alienating millions of your customers who will take their business elsewhere. Your founder Sam Walton would be appalled.”

It noted that Walmart has “relied on conservative organizations and office holders” to promote policies that benefited the company, additionally, those conservatives “stepped up to defend” it when it was “attacked.”

“We stood by the company because it was generally pro-family and because we embrace free enterprise and believe in the benefits of capitalism. We can no longer tolerate your leftist policy agenda – particularly when it facilitates the harming of innocent human life,” the letter added.

In its closing paragraph, the letter urged conservatives to “take their business elsewhere” and said conservative officials or organizations should not accept funding from Walmart.

Walmart announced the change in its policy roughly two months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
