Texas Colleges/Universities Anyone?

I seriously think Rice would be the perfect school for my DS, but I don’t know now if I want to encourage it.

I’m fine with most SEC schools in the south. Hell no to ANY school in the state of Texas.

Florida is not any better than Texas TBH.

Nope. Not paying for TX college. DC is a straight A magnet student.

I have coworkers in Austin. They are privileged enough to go to a different state if they need an abortion. This law just punishes the poor, like all the voting restriction laws.

Agree. Would NEVER subject my child to Taliban-controlled Texas.

Hell no.

Who in the world would?

What do people not understand about this?

This is not only about abortion. What if your daughter or son unknowingly drives someone to an appointment? In Texas, anyone now has the right to collect a bounty on you.

This law opens the door to a whole lot more. Ladies there will be no more birth control soon. No, I am not overreacting. They have already packed the courts with cases.


The Supreme Court's decision to not intervene in the Texas abortion ban last night risks the health of countless women.

In the process, it also jeopardizes the doctrine of incorporation.

For the nonlawyers:
That's the doctrine that applies the Bill of Rights to the States.

Also, who the H sends their kid to college in a state where the Governor and AG are literally trying to kill thier subjects.

Come on Trumpies we all know you will send your idiot kids to college in Texas because you don't give a crap about other people's rights. You just want to be sheep and play with the FACISTS>

Sad, these are great schools, but I can see faculty leaving for other places where their rights are not restricted and where education is valued more.

Pro tip: if there's a community somewhere in Missouri or Texas that doesn't "value" "education," that doesn't actually affect WUSTL or Rice.

Pro-tip, if my daughter gets raped in MO or TX, the crazy as Eff leadership there is going to make getting an abortion ridiculously difficult.

A student in St Louis would just head over to Illinois for services. It’s like someone in DC going to VA to see a doctor.

And the vigilantes get to get justice for $10,000 and no jail time. You are an idiot.

For all of you posting they can go to other states.

NO they can not. If they do some moron can literally kill them with zero consequences.

Anyone sending a boy or a girl to any red state moving forward is an idiot. This is not going to end well. Some family will lose a child to vigilante justice. UGH

And you think that a Republican legislature with a Republican government won’t pass a law criminalizing that, as well? The Texas law is enforced by vigilantes, not by the state. That precedent—which the Supreme Court just this morning said is FINE—is going to result in a wave of laws just like it. And there’s no doubt some enterprising Republican lawmaker will extend it to abortion services provided anywhere. People really need to wake up.

Under the law you can sue the airlines, the Uber driver, the hotel chain, cell phone provider, etc …anyone or business that aided you.

LOL, ironic if Southwest Air gets sued because someone flew out of state to get an abortion.

Stop comparing it to the Taliban, as if this mindset is somehow not endemic to this country. This is Christian white supremacy at work—an entirely American phenomenon.

And just as oppressive as the Taliban. The comparison is apt.

Wow. Such hate from the tolerant left.

Ironic statement, given the actions of the right.

+1. If you can get into Rice, you can get into a good school in not the Deep South.

Texas isn't the deep South. Your good school history education should've taught you that

Former confederacy. Happy?

I live in the DC area, but work for a company based in Texas. There are tons of big corporations with headquarters located in Texas that attract workers from all over the world. Tons of high-paying jobs in Dallas, Austin, and Houston, for example.

So even though you might not be willing to let your child consider going to college there, there are lots of great jobs there and beautiful neighborhoods and schools. (My colleagues live in these types of neighborhoods.)

Encourage? No. Support, if that's where DC truly wants to go and gets in? Sure.
