Do you consider state laws/health care access effecting your child when selecting college?

Anonymous wrote:Big Businesses will move out of these states

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

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.

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.

They are moving in. Like it or not. Business moved in because it’s good for business. Highly educated workers will go where they are paid well and where there are companies.

I think folks on this board are overreacting a bit.. Not about Roe being overturned but about what will happen on college campuses and in southern cities. Say, your daughter gets pregnant in college (doesn't matter how). If she chooses to carry it to term, that's her choice and would have been regardless of where she got pregnant. If she wants to terminate, fly her out to someplace civilized and take care of it.

If you are employee (i.e. young woman), I'm sure you can fly yourself wherever you want to and get an abortion. I know that their stupid law says about getting an abortion, but how will those backwater clowns know you didn't have a "miscarriage" in Mexico or Maryland or wherever you went to take care of things? And while you are there, work hard to vote them out of office.

Your privilege is showing when you claim "people can just fly out" to get an abortion. Not everyone has hundreds of dollars or the time and ability to travel like that.

The “your privilege is showing” thing is tired.

NP. Not if it is true. Half of America has never been on a plane. A lot more have never left their state. I think a lot of posters on DCUM take our experiences, lifestyles, varying entitlements for granted and think most people are similarly situated when they are not.

If you think only privileged people fly in planes, I invite you to fly in one. PP is right, the privilege is showing thing is tired.

I can see that you’re one of those people who like to argue just o argue. If you don’t understand that it is not going to be easy for someone to just hop on a plane in a stressful period of their life when they have never been on a plane or out of their state ever, . . . .

So you’re saying someone who has never been on a plane or out of their state cannot ever do so. They are immune from being able to.

Hopping a plan to another state alone can be both cost and time prohibitive

Good lawd, some of you are thick

And it's not like there aren't high quality schools all over. There are plenty of great options. No need to invite this into the mix.

Who exactly are you addressing here? PP or the person trapped in a state that will jail her for ending an unwanted pregnancy that probably has a low wage job and no leave time, possibly supporting other kids?

Do states trap people? Are there cages holding them in?

Do you think poor people whose entire family are from one place. Who have few job skills and children in school. Who have probably struggled to find a low rent....have the wherewithal and funds to pack up all of those kids, nd move across the country (where they have no family, job or affordable rent)? For political reasons? You speak as someone who has always had power and options. In that way, you are so ignorant.

You really just like to argue, don’t you?

You know damn well these women don’t have actual options

Does anyone remember the reporting not too long ago that more than half of our citizens couldn’t come up with $400 in an emergency?

So, imagine, you’re in a state that will throw you in jail. A plane ride to the closest state allowing it is likely $500, then you have to pay for a hotel, transportation to and from the clinic, not to mention the time off of work

Sure, they have such great options smdh

Why? Because I debunked the particular point OP was making? Yes. For anyone with full, white-collar employment, abortion is a plane ticket away. So is the case for your out of state student.

The issue of "Not everyone has hundreds of dollars" does not apply to the scenario OP is talking about. It does apply to poor people but that's not the OP's original question/comment. Learn to read and stay on topic. Not just bring up narratives that don't make sense to keep hearing what you want to hear.

If my kid is suffering an ectopic pregnancy, she can’t just get on a plane. Our money would not be able to save her.

There are interstate roads. One can drive in their own car, or take a Greyhound bus. It doesn't have to be a $500 plane ticket.

Which state has a law that says ectopic pregnancies won't be appropriately treated?
