Major corporations including Amazon, Google, and Wells Fargo donated large sums to the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), which in turn funded groups working to elect anti-abortion state legislators, according to an analysis by the Center for Political Accountability. Although these companies did not directly give these vast sums to North Carolina’s anti-abortion lawmakers, the CPA’s analysis is a case study in how corporate contributions to organizations such as the RSLC can end up being funneled into anti-abortion causes. The RSLC gave $5m to the Good Government Coalition political organization between June and November last year, which in turn gave $6.45m to the rightwing political group Citizens for a Better North Carolina. Finally, that organization gave $1m in independent expenditures to support nine anti-abortion state lawmakers who later voted to overturn the governor’s veto of the abortion bill.
