© Darron Cummings/Associated PressIndiana-based companies Eli Lilly & Co. and Cummins Inc. spoke against the state’s new abortion law, saying the restrictions could hurt the companies’ ability to keep and attract employees and could affect where the businesses grow. The Saturday statements came after Indiana’s governor on Friday signed a near-total ban on abortions shortly after lawmakers approved it. But Lilly said Saturday such efforts “may not be enough for some current and potential employees,” according to the statement. Cummins also pays for travel for elective procedures, including reproductive health, the spokesman said. Indiana is the first state to approve abortion restrictions following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.
