Kristen Willmott, a counselor with Top Tier Admissions in Massachusetts, said students she works with have told her they are taking some top schools in Texas, Florida and Tennessee off their application lists due to their restrictive abortion laws.

Alexis Prisco, who is entering her senior year at Eastern Technical High School in Maryland, had planned to apply to her parents' alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri."

What the hell? I'm pro-choice but that quote is insanity. Abortion is not birth control. Someone please inform this girl of that.

I think you and others are intentionally being obtuse. It is not about abortion singularly, but about the slippery slope of dismantling a 50 year precedent so easily. The senator from Texas has already said that he wants Brown v Board of Education reversed because it too was based on the same reasoning as Roe. A member of the SCOTUS majority wrote in his opinion that he invites a case regarding the right to contraceptives; gay marriage ; and cunnilingus/felatio to be revisited by the courts. Those were privacy issues decisions as well. Maybe none of those issues are concerning to you because perchance you are white and heterosexual and don’t enjoy oral sex, but they concern and impact a lot of other people in this country. If they succeed down this road, eventually they will get to something that impacts you, but then it will be too late and nobody left willing or able to fight or care about you.

Believe me, there was nothing "easy" about dismantling RvW. We pro-lifers have been working at it for years.

Agree....impressive result. It is clear that the way to rights for women Telus heavily on scouts and the left needs tough, sustained, campaign to get some justices with respect for women's rights on the court.

No, you see, you still have it all wrong. "Rights" come from the legislative action, not court decisions.

Like my daughter is smart enough to get into Kenyon, but not smart enough to call me and say “Hey Mom, can you fly me home for the weekend? I miss the dog.” … We don’t have a dog.

Lots of hysterical panicking on this thread. If your DD is at college out of state, you can bring them home for a visit anytime.

To me it’s not about the actual scenario of needing an abortion. I just wouldn’t want my kid in a state that doesn’t value women as independent citizens.

I feel the same way and I have a son. He also feels the same way, FWIW. He took red state colleges off his list (I didn’t say anything).

I am not young. I had this right for almost 50 years as a constitutional protection with the right justices..we....and more importantly...out children....will hold this right again.

You have at least showed us all how to play this game.

That is a lot of bull crap. People had no right to enslave others regardless of the fact that legislative action allowed it.

Wrong. In the same week, SCOTUS said the legislation does not have the right to legislate gun laws. It is all about who sits on the courts. I guess people like you are willing to make a deal with the devil who fuccked a bunch of porn stars and paid for abortions for his mistresses and maybe daughter as long as the ends get your desired results.

No, rights are endowed by our creator. And the Bible recognizes that a woman’s life matters more than a fetus.

Exactly, you all ( ie white women) need to vote down ballot blue this November if you really want abortion back.

My daughter will be going to school in VA and registering to vote! And she will have the depo shot before going.

Another option is the implant in the arm which may be better tolerated than the IUD.

My kids just tentatively scratched VA schools off the list.

don't give up on VA yet. I truly believe last year was a fluke. VA is DEFINITELY purple. Dems will take the House of Delegates back soon and they have the Senate right now.

I just can't believe we have to deal with this EVERY DAMN ELECTION.

We are NoVA residents and my daughter has already attended programs at Radford and ODU for her possible major. We also have Shenandoah on her list.

My biggest concern, like so many others, is if Rs lie/cheat their way into controlling congress and the white house in 2025. That is game over and a nationwide ban is next. This is why I am looking into Canadian programs for my daughter (a rising junior) We will definitely be looking to get her out of the country and then my younger daughter and I will follow, somehow. I will stay and fight for the next 2 elections, but it is lights out for democracy if the worst comes to pass in 2024/25.

You want to force all college kids to abstain from sex?

You can’t force your religious views on others.

Who said anything about abstinence? Did you just wake up from a coma? Tell your children to USE BIRTH CONTROL. Birth control was supposed to be the big sexual liberator for women. What happened to that idea?

Thomas said Griswald v Connecticut should be overturned. He has the votes in SCOTUS. He has asked the far right to bring them the case.

Other than voting I don't know what else to do about this. How would they enforce a ban on sodomy, only the Lord knows. However, I do know the LGBT lobby is stronger than the women lobby.

mine currently has an IUD for terrible cramping, but it doesn't seem to be working (she is at a PA college program right now complaining about it). We are going to have to look at other options, unfortunately.

As another poster noted, my bigger concern moving forward is the possibility of birth control failure leading to an ectopic (I am so sorry you had to go through that experience, PP). If she gets stuck in a state with a draconian ban, she could die while waiting for an ER doc to be "approved" to operate on her and sadly, time is of the essence. You can't wait to go home for this emergency - you're screwed.

I am so worried and scared for the poor women who live in those states

But I also will NOT be putting my own child into a situation where she cannot be flown out (like an ectopic, as has been mentioned already) - that just doesn't make sense.

so, yes, in the end, we have to be selfish and protect our own. I'm in no way going to BS about that. I care about others, but these last couple years have taught me the only people we can truly protect/do anything for are those under our own roof. I can't help others if I'm worried for my own family.

No, Thomas does NOT have the votes to overrule Griswold. No other justices joined his concurring opinion and the majority opinion expressly states that "nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion." Is there are remote possibility? I suppose so, but talking like it's a foregone conclusion is the product of hysteria.
