But taking it might become a crime in some states. Louisiana has a bill that would consider using Plan B homicide.

Louisiana does not have a bill considering making Plan B a homicide.

There is currently a draft of a bill that consider abortion a homicide at any stage of gestation. This would then include Plan B.

Plan B is not being considered no matter how many times you say it. It is not in this article, it is not the same birth control method that is mentioned in the article. It is not true.
I am not anti-abortion, I am just simply saying that Plan B is not being considered banned in that state.

What do you think moving life to fertilization does?

You read an article and have no details and just run with it.
The legislature is from the “moment of fertilization” as the issue. Plan B is not that. Plan B does nothing once fertilization occurs, it is not for that reason.
Plan B is not being considered banned in the state of Louisiana.

One of the ways plan b works is by preventing a fertizled egg from attaching to the uterine lining.

NP. It does not, that was once the thinking when it first became on the market. It is not marketing that way any longer and FDA has adjusted the literature in that matter. It works only to prevent fertilization, it is not effective once that occurs.

Correct, this is a change that happened years ago when I worked in ob/gyn.

Thank you, people don’t understand how it works and are assuming.

Texas has brought in more big business than any state in the US for a number of years now. It is the number 1 state for business and Austin is the number 1 city. You don’t have to like it but it is that way. Too bad sour grapes.

while I understand this, I also have a hard time believing that big businesses will remain when they can't recruit young women to work for them

BS. There are great colleges in Texas. One being Rice which is likely better than what you attended,
if you attended college at all, and UT which has one of the best engineering programs in the country. You snarky add on is a typical juvenile response.

DP. That sounds like a clever response, except it doesn't take a lot of effort to identify the only two good schools in a state twice the size and with half the population of Germany.

We are hysterically laughing over her at this! I’m embarrassed for you.
Here’s another statistic. Texas had the 10th largest economy on the world. Yeah, it sucks so bad!

Then why can’t Texas keep the lights on?

Yeah, you think it’s because Texas didn’t pay it’s electric bill, okay you. Get your crayons for your first lesson.

You think Texas is financially together. I’ll send you some crayons.

Let me check with Elon Musk…
Yep, he says he has lights and his Tesla headquarters are up and running. And for good measure, I checked with few of my friends there also they also have electricity, running water, and all of life’s conveniences. Sorry you are disappointed they aren’t living poorly.

If you think enough women will move out, think again. Texas has plenty of women. And not all have an issue with the state which would make another leave. And the state is very, very appealing to business. It’s not number 1 for no reason.

If you don’t think some states will be banning Plan B or criminalizing women’s reproductive health choices, you *really* aren’t paying attention!!

Immediately? No.

But let's start seeing how they feel when women are hunted down and jailed. When women slowly die of sepsis because they are carrying a dead baby and every doctor is afraid to treat them.

This WILL happen.

Look at Ireland. Heck, look at any country that had illegal abortion.

Electricity has been kind of spotty. And Musk is a nut.

No, it’s not a factor. OP needs to focus less on politics and more on getting her daughter a solid education and learn to write so she doesn’t mangle affect and effect like her mother does.

Your child's their own person and an adult they can make the decision. Lol idiots

well, they aren't paying their own bills at that point. Parents still get a say for that reason alone.

So you don’t give your child any advice and aren’t involved whatsoever in the college application process?

DD went to Rice (in Texas) and had a wonderful time. Sadly, I would encourage her to look elsewhere if she was applying to college now.

It depends a lot on your metrics whether it's number 1. And the impact of the ideologues has not yet been felt. Businesses moved in thinking it was more libertarian. But this financially de-regulated but socially restrictive is not a good combo for the highly educated workers they need. We'll see.
