Are schools in FL terrible? Would you send your kids?

Annnnd DeSantis signed the 6 week abortion ban (for anyone who doesn't understand how pregnancy works the majority of time when you are pregnant you don't even find out until you are 6-7 weeks along unless you are zealously tracking your cycles)

Why?

are they letting boys call themselves girls in order to access female spaces down there?

Not the PP I would not want my daughter to grow up or live in a state where abortion access is banned. And if my daughter wanted to move to one of those places as an adult that would be a point of consideration that I'd discuss with her. In some states it is almost impossible to get an abortion even when the life of the mother is being threatened because doctors are so scared of being sued

Abortions are legal in Florida through the 15th week of pregnancy, with an exception afterwards if the mother's life is in danger. By way of comparison, in the right-wing hellhole of Denmark, abortion is only permitted through the first 12 weeks (but with a similar exception for the mother's health).

What, exactly, are you talking about?

For the 5754854th time, in Denmark abortion is free & easily accessible (no driving 400 miles to the nearest clinic), and people are less inclined to seek one because they’re not going to plunged into poverty if they have a baby there.

That's not the complaint given about abortion restrictions. Are you OK with Florida's abortion restrictions being done nationwide, if it is free and easily accessible after 15 weeks, and there is better child care provisions?

I don’t support abortion restrictions.

Are there situations in which a woman would need a 3rd trimester abortion? Are there doctors performing these late-term procedures?

Connecticut has some of the best public schools in the country.

Connecticut has numerous wealthy, non-diverse areas with great schools.

Correct. I lol’ed at the PP. Go talk to some kids in Hartford, New London, Bridgeport & Danbury and ask them how their “great schools” are working out.

Florida is last or close to last in teacher pay. No disrespect to the hardworking teachers of Florida but you are clearly undervalued and than it going to show. Look for a school district somewhere that spends a lot per pupil.

*yawns*

If passed, House Bill 271 would raise the base salary for teachers to $65,000 per year

The base pay for teachers in Florida is currently $47,500

Aaaaand if a woman is raped she is exempted from the 6-week ban and given until 15 weeks; however, she has to provide documentation of the rape to get an abortion. Why does this man hate women so much?

To answer OP, no, I would not send my kids to FL schools nor would I want to live there unless there is a drastic change in the current political climate.

Cost of living is lower, no income taxes is worth another few thousand.
