Great!

Will be easier for my kid to get into UVA!!

Seriously you will skip a top college like UVA, Rice, etc in these states for the ruling of the govt in that state? It’s not the colleges’s fault and they are not going to leave the state either. Anyways , your kids are only in school for like 6 months anyways…

What they type here and what they do when their kids get rejected from the other schools because of increased competition is very different.

These Red state Universities that today denied our daughters' their civil rights will go belly Up when we pull our daughters and son's college Apps

They have literally already committed the funds from this years admission yields to formulate their staff budget,the health insurance payments for their faculty, their returee pensions and the payments on their debt

The price for treating our daughters as less than equal citizens and exposing them to a Felony record is mass default to:

Tulane, Emory, Vanderbilt, Wash- U, Furman, Texas- Austin, Ole Miss, University of Kentucky... on and on and on

Each and every family will be taking its 200,00- $ 250,000 ( 1/4 million dollars ) tuition elsewhere.....

Your states will return to being economic backwaters

Did you ever stop to think that someone else can take those seats you choose to vacate?

DP Are you familiar with the phrase "out of state tuition?" It's different than what residents pay. Universities tend to like it.

So only people from Alabama will go to colleges in Alabama?

Look, I know what Alabama is like. UAB supports an incredible medical hub and great medical education. Alabama worked really hard to build that. They were rightfully proud of it.

But ... all that now comes with even bigger asterisk. So sure, if you have kids in Mississippi whose parents can afford out of state tuition, then maybe? But it's cheaper to go to Mississippi. The real money was coming from states not in the South.

And those wealthy Southerners are not going to want their kids' degrees to come with that big asterisk. Why would they pay OOS for Alabama, when they could afford a degree not tainted with the yee-haw hillbilly work?

You all have lost the progress you were working on for decades. Decades, and generations.

I'm a Northerner with a degree from UAB, which I knew because I grew up a cardiac kid, and the father-son Kirklin team in Birmingham with the clinic designed by I.M. Pei had perfected the technique I needed.

I spent a lot of conversations trying to explain the "new Alabama" to people. It was a damn hard sell. But if that was hard, just think about trying to sell something nobody wants to buy anymore. Sorry, you guys lost the ball on this one. That's something you will have to deal with. I guess it's worth it to you. Oh, well.

“It was cool for me to go to Bama for my top-notch medical education, but post-Dobbs nobody can or should go to Bama for their top-notch education.”

Whatever.

Go look at the teeny tiny map that shows the few states who still have abortion rights. Are you really suggesting everyone limits ourselves that way?

Did you see that Wisconsin is regressing? It’s not just the south.

Ah. Do you always confuse "can or should" with "want to?"

Actually, I’m underscoring the judgmental aspect of the post. It was totes cool for them to go to Bama (precisely because of the high quality education/specialized renowned program), but now it’s a terrible choice because the world will judge them. Never mind the highly specialized program; just stick to New England lest anyone judge you…with their bias based on abortion.

No, I didn't say "it's a terrible choice."

Get this through your apparently thick skull: I said that even fewer people seem to be willing to make that choice. I'm just pointing that out.

Also, "Oh, well."

Go read the dcum college thread. Applications at Auburn were off the hook this year. Kids with 4.0s were rejected.

The uptick in applications to southern schools is real. Those schools aren’t hurting for applications. Kids from northern and coastal states are heading south in droves. Google it, or go check out the dcum college forum.

+1
Such wishful thinking, that somehow all these great southern schools will be lacking applicants.

They won’t be lacking applicants. They will be lacking blue state and liberal applicants. This will most definitely lower their ranking for years. As a Duke graduate, I can promise you that the brilliant kids who go on to graduate programs were all generally from the north.

And those brilliant kids from the north will continue to go to Duke. Go read the dcum college thread.

I don’t think so, PP. And as a retired college administrator I can guarantee you that there were emergency meetings at all the schools in the country - those fearing a loss of out of state students and those anticipating an influx of out of state students.

Duke is freaking out.

You weren’t there as you are retired.

I know.

Sure you are. I don't know any girl who would want to attend a university in a state that denies them the freedom to have control of their life just as a man does. My 9th grader and all her friends have already said that. And the hypocrisy of it all is what kills me. This isn't about babies that the Republicans want to protect. It's not really about that because if it were, they would be fighting for stricter gun laws. This is primarily about controlling women and judging them based on their "sinful" actions. I grew up with super religious Christian parents and their biggest fear has always been one of us having sex before marriage. They call themselves"pro- life" but what they really want is to deter unmarried women from having sex. Nothing to do with saving life.

Not really interested in your life story. I stated I was pro-choice, and I am. However, this issue has *correctly* been handed back to the states so that all voters can make their positions known. It should have been done long ago.

Again your response is not consistent with someone who is pro choice. Your anger should be towards the people who are removing a woman's right to make the choice for her body and her life; not at random women on DCUM who want to boycott some colleges.

Young gen are very socially conscious and routinely make decisions about schools, companies, employers that align with their values. Much more likely to walk away this is why so many brands, companies AND colleges court them by putting social values front and center.

Southern colleges are tainted now, no doubt.

It’s a health risk to be at colleges in some of those states. An ectopic pregnancy could result in death. No thanks.

Have you seen women with ectopic pregnancies dying in Mississippi? After all, they’ve only had 1 abortion clinic in the state for years.

No, you haven’t. Why? Because providers across the state can and will handle ectopic pregnancies appropriately.

5+ states only had 1 abortion clinic in the entire state before this decision. Tons of girls presumably opted to go to schools in those states. Perhaps they didn’t realize how limited their options were?

Perhaps those girls don't view getting pregnant and having an abortion as their primary concerns when going to college?

The difference now, PP, is that they will not be allowed by law to end an ectopic pregnancy in the hospital or perform an abortion on a dead fetus until the woman is septic. It has nothing to do with abortion clinics - there are the laws doctors in hospitals and emergency rooms will have to abide by.

That was when Roe v Wade was in effect. Just wait. It's only been one day.

You’re missing the point! Jesus!

The girls in those states could still get the morning after pill in the ERs and have abortions for ectopic pregnancies IN THE HOSPITAL before. It has very little to do with abortion clinics. There are emergencies and life-and-death decision now hog tied by state legislatures.

How can you possibly not know that by now?!

Nope. I commented on another thread. Sibling at major hospital ER in OH just received guidance yesterday that they cannot touch ectopic pregnancies if there is a heartbeat. Doctors dealt with ectopic pregnancies appropriately before because they were allowed. OH heartbeat law only allows for abortion for eminent loss of life of the mother. As of now, there’s no guidance as to how close to risking death the mother has to be before they are allowed to intervene.

In related news: take Case, Oberlin, Miami University, and OSU off your lists.

[Anonymous]

PP why do these girls have to go to the ER for the morning after pill? In my province you get it without a prescription at the drugstore. We also haven't had any abortion law at all for over 30 years. I don't get why you need a law at all. We consider it a medical procedure and not your neighbor's business.

I'm not the one who is angry. I haven't been posting incoherent rants on the topic. I simply stated that the issue has been handed back to the states to decide, as it should have been long ago. Feel free to boycott whatever you like.

The states are not forcing women to have babies. They are forcing them into unsafe legal abortions. We already saw this movie.
