Political Discussion
The overwhelming majority of OBs want to provide care to their patient, including an abortion when necessary, even when they personally object. Go read some surveys. They will not put themselves in a position of “waiting for the mother’s imminent death” before performing a procedure. The risk and stress ain’t worth it. But then again you don’t need OBs, you all will just pop a baby in a parking lot and go watch your NASCAR race. |
Why do you think a financial protest makes one a buffoon? Did you think conservatives boycotting Starbucks were buffoons? They made their protest known on social media. |
I mean, genuinely top faculty (especially global top faculty) aren’t going to live in these states. Those who aren’t women have wives and daughters too. The classes will be even more likely to be taught by adjuncts. |
People love living in TN, especially Vanderbilt faculty. You are just delusional - you have no idea how much nicer it is to live in a safer, prettier and more gentile environment |

DP. No, we'll just take away our money, and then we'll forget about you. Go wild with all that "culture legacy," because it is irrelevant. Nobody cares how puffed up you are. Your states can't even support themselves without truckloads of federal aid. Get a job. |
DP Are you familiar with the phrase "out of state tuition?" It's different than what residents pay. Universities tend to like it. |
DP You’re a buffoon because you think your useless rants on some mommy board will have any financial impact on southern universities. And it’s asinine to somehow associate a SC ruling with these schools. |
If your kid planned to go to one of those schools, they already knew the politics of the state. Do you really think a bleeding heart liberal kid whose choices are dictated by abortion rights planned to go to one of those schools in the first place and now feels so shocked by the decision they must bail at the last minute (it’s nearly July and school starts in mid-August)? Nobody is withdrawing in July. Nobody. Where would they even go? |
90% of Vanderbilt students are from out of state, 10% from out of country. Yes they will absolutely reconsider sending their kids to a this world state. |
Sure, not being told what to do but living off blue state money like a parasite. |
So only people from Alabama will go to colleges in Alabama? |
Roll in the mud with pigs, get a little dirty. Get used to having lost that little edge on modernity and respectability the South had managed to claw out in the 21st century. Progress? Business? You've redeclared yourselves as backwoods country a'la Deliverance. Nobody wants you, but you still want those sweet, sweet federal subsidies. Start supporting yourselves, if you want to drive back into the mud. Go for it. |
The politics of the state did not impact them so personally. Between that and guns, many are done. After all a state school in a Southern state is not an Ivy where you might weigh the pros and cons. Kids will transfer out and high school senior will not apply. |
My day job is social justice/law related. I’m pushing 50 and swim in DC advocacy circles. I think you have a rather rose-colored view of foreign corporations and foreign governments. They only care about money; they couldn’t care less about American abortion rights. Pretty sure Germany imposes restrictions on abortions after 12 weeks—like much of the civilized world. Fairly confident the Japanese are enjoying the political turmoil in the USA. They don’t want a functional American world leader. Nobody is coming to save us from ourselves. Americans are to blame—including Dems who allowed Bernie and Jill Stein to spoil HRC’s campaign chances. Dems wanted a perfect candidate (who will never exist) while R’s just wanted someone to stick to their core party beliefs. Dems voted for Trump, and he quickly packed the Supreme Court. Obama did fight to seat his guy. Weak. RBG’s ego prevented her from retiring; Obama couldn’t persuade her. Our loss. Take the fight to state legislatures. That’s our only hope at this point. |
