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.


Let’s hope it never comes to this in any state, but, you know damn well that they’ll get on a plane to your hometown for followup medical care.

No more hysterical straw men

What if your young adult daughter or son wants to attend school in a state you dislike? If they have different politics than you?

Sounds like a lot of you won’t be able to accept that. So controlling

what will happen if she gets raped? Luck you can bring her home to a state that doesn't try to stop the abortion.

+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.)

so do mine, and they can easily afford to go to a different state to access abortions.

Not so much for the poors.

Keep your son's and daughters away. The way the law reads..they can be pursued by the crazies for being involved in reproductive rights decisions and legally prosecuted. Stay away.

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


Wow. Such hate from the tolerant left.


The left isn't tolerant of injustice. Thankfully.

Exactly. No one needs to tolerate some vigilante coming for their child.

These corporations are going to have to compete for top talent with states that are not out if the handmaid's tale. Good luck texas but lots of talent will say no thank you.

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 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.


The SC didn't say it was fine. They declined to stop the law from going into effect. They will almost certainly rule on it later. I share your pessimism about their eventual ruling, though.

Hey, crazy libs----you are such freaking hypocrites! The party of tolerance is only tolerant towards those that agree with them. I for one have a freshman daughter in a private college in TX and am ecstatic about the Supreme Court decision.

One way to change these states is for progressives and liberals to move there en masse and vote out the retrogressive politicians.

Once your daughter comes to her senses, she'll leave. Hope she doesn't have to learn the hard way.

You think cons are tolerant of those who disagree with them? Or is the greatest sin of all “hypocrisy”? Hope your daughter never needs any reproductive health care in Texas, because the cons there have no tolerance for it.
