Enough people do that, and colleges might start to take notice


LOL!! They'll peg you as a helicopter parent and say a grateful prayer.


No, trust me, they won’t. It’s going to hurt their ranking. Just wait and see.

DS is informing athletic recruiters today that he’s no longer interested in completing the recruitment procedures for red state universities. And he is telling them why.

Because if he gets a girl pregnant he wants her to be able to abort their baby?

It will be tough for kids who have already matriculated or will this fall. But yeah, it will definitely make those colleges less attractive to prospective students. Let’s face it, while parents think a lot about post grad career opportunities, many many kids want to have a good time. That tends to include sex! And accidents happen a lot in that age group.

And I have to agree with the pp who noted that those colleges have only recently overcome the northern knee-jerk distaste for them on racism grounds. I went to a very prestigious New England prep school in the 80s and the only people who went to southern and southwestern schools came from those states. This just feeds into stereotypes.

A long line of gentlemen who believed God instructed them to own black people. Gentlemen who constructed Jim Crow. Gentlemen who led lynch mobs, killed Emmitt Till and shot Medger Evans. Gentlrr wemrn who continue to fly the Confederate Battle Flag. Gentlemen who think Let’s Go Brandon is clever. Gentlemen who believe in using the death penalty to execute those wrongly convicted. Gentlemen who smeared their feces in the corridors of the US Capitol.


You might want to read the history behind some of those fine old New England patriarchs, cities and schools.

I’m actually not a parent. I should have identify myself as a NP. I’m a college counselor.

No, dear, because he sees women as equals with a right to choice regarding their own bodies.

There’s definitely something to this. I think overturning Roe will have a very big effect over time on where professional women choose to take jobs, or WFH, or where younger ambitious women choose to attend college or grad school.

Thank you, as I was that poster and I knew I didn’t make that post.

I don’t give a flying eff what you peg me as. I have been doing the legwork on a school list for my daughter as she has ADHD and wouldn’t know where to begin. I have been transparent with her about what I have been doing in the past several months. This summer, because of this, she is attending programs at 2 potential schools. I am not at all ashamed for doing everything I can to help my daughter in the college search process.

She fully supports removing the states banning abortion from her list. She wouldn’t feel safe being there and as her parent who is paying the money for her to attend, I cannot in good conscience put her into a potential life threatening situation should the worst happen.

Ultimately, SHE will be the one applying. But they will be losing OUR money

The schools won’t go under but those states will soon see a lack of Obgyn care. Seriously - there is no safe way to do reproductive care in those states. Someone is pregnant and now a having a miscarriage but the baby is taking a long time to actually die. But now you have to wait until the baby is dead and maybe the mom has life threatening blood pressure or is bleeding out to save the mother’s life. Really - too much trouble. Obgyns will switch to non-reproductive focus (cancer, post menopausal….) or move. Long story short - a lot is women will be hurt by this. It may eventually change / but only after model victims die. Like in the case of Ireland where the earthly Indian married woman died of sepsis after a prolonged miscarriage because the doctors would not do anything until the baby was dead. The family was Hindu and kinda like A not my religion just let us leave. So, when some white middle class “nice” victim dies (or some model minorities) in sufficient numbers - maybe we get a right to bodily autonomy constitutional amendment that says baby only has rights equal to mother once born. Mother’s right to bodily autonomy triumph until birth.

Throw me back into the briar patch please.


I am in a stable marriage. But I don't want more children. I have one and enjoy it very much. And I stay home.

Where do you live where you don't have these choices?
