I definitely think the colleges/universities are going to start seeing a drop in OOS applications

I think so too. Those states have told you omen what they think of women's health care and what they think of women as people. Why pay a premium to travel there for college?

Apparently yes.

So they were content with everything else trump and conservatives did just upset about abortion? Does not seem like these people will be very reliable.

There's a difference between content and motivated to go out and vote. They've been fed a line for years about how Republicans and Democrats are both equally terrible and somehow bought it mostly out of lazinesss.

Now they see the reality because of Roe V Wade. I suspect "these people" (condescending bulls---) may in fact be motivated and have gained a bit of clarity.

Call me cynical. If they are okay with Trump they are okay with RvW being overturned.

That is not the case with the R women I know. They are shocked that Roe was overturned.

I would love to listen in on a focus group of R women sometime. When Ds heard Kav and ACB during their confirmation hearings, we KNEW they were there to overturn Roe and it's exactly what they would do. I would love to hear from R women about what they actually heard and believed there. I find it astonishing that anyone could have come away thinking that Roe was safe with these two on the bench!

Republican women like to think of themselves as people and thought their party felt the same way. They bought all the lines about feminazis and all that and thought that they’d be able to choose their own lives and also serve the patriarchy. Surprise! Women aren’t people in the GOP!

Remember how surprised this one was when she finally got what she'd been fighting for?

I am not paying for any red state education. DS is a rising senior, and previously liked William and Mary, but now he's replaced it with others in better states. It's not just women who are engaged in this fight. Women's rights are human rights and effect all of us.

VA has done nothing to restrict abortion this year. I can’t guarantee what will happen in the future, but you don’t have to take VA out of the running at the moment.

The governor wants to severely restrict it….would not trust VA.

NP. It's playing with fire. YOungkin is on record saying that he would like to restrict abortion rights after the Dobbs decision. And with a Republican House and a bare minimal Democratic advantage in the Senate, it is in great danger. This years elections could flip the Senate and then it would be easy for Youngkin to restrict abortion rights the way he's already said he would.

Affect, sorry. I'm aware that abortion isn't in immediate danger in VA, but political trends there are not reassuring, so why even risk it when there are so many good college options elsewhere?
He is applying to Maryland, northeast and Canadian universities.

I'm glad at least some women are waking up.

Why would a woman want to move to one of these red states to take a job at this point, or go to college? Doesn't make sense any longer, women's health care in those states will go downhill.

That doesn’t support what the PP said.

I think last year was a fluke in VA, not a trend. People lost their minds after the pandemic.

I get what you are saying, but I live here and I think next year’s elections will swing back over this exact issue.

But then can the rural Kansas vote be explained? I think it may have been a rallying cry that felt good, but in practice isn’t. Reminds me of how many people across social media say that they saw women protesting abortion one day only to get one the next. Then, they’d go right back again.

NP. Here's a reference suggesting less than 20% put abortion among the most important issues: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/abortion-birth-control-poll/.

But no data an gender gap on that question.

Forced birthers think kids are free. That tells you all you need to know about their arguments.
