A call by abortion activists to mass loot Walmart stores over the company’s donations to pro-life lawmakers has gone viral.
Earlier this month, the Alabama Legislature passed the Human Life Protection Act, which imposes a near blanket ban on abortion including in cases of rape and incest.
Last week, it was revealed that six corporations had funded lawmakers responsible for pushing anti-abortion laws in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Missouri, and Ohio.
One of those companies is Walmart, which donated $57,700 in total, including $7,000 to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and $10,000 to Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof.
This led one Twitter user to tweet a call to, “STEAL FROM WALMART 2019.”

The tweet quickly went viral, receiving over 91,000 retweets and over 322,000 likes.
Another tweet from a separate person also went viral, receiving over 63,000 likes. It says, “hey @Walmart, fuck you for funding the abortion ban across 6 states. this is why I steal from your musty ass company.”

Despite the tweets advocating criminal behavior and having been seen by millions of people, neither have been removed.
Numerous other Twitter users are now calling for Walmart stores to be looted en masse.
While Twitter has previously stepped in to ban people who tweet “learn to code” at journalists, it is seemingly unfazed about a viral call for widespread criminal behavior.

I used to work at Walmart and let me tell you, theft does not affect employees whatsoever. So fuck anyone that says "don't steal from Walmart, you're only hurting the employees." https://t.co/ecJUVvb9E0
