Your states *will* and already are losing revenue as will companies based in your states, and that's entirely the fault of you pro-lifers.

How do you explain the mass exodus from CA, NY, IL, etc. to FL and TX?

How do you explain today’s news about employment rates in Red states outshining Blue states post-covid?

Btw, I’m a Dem. But I read all the news and I don’t cherry-pick stats to support my thinking. Rather, I strive to step back to see the bigger picture and connect the dots.

You should try it. Everyone should…especially our Dem leaders who should be working 24/7 on capitalizing on this moment to win midterms.

Uhhh what? People aren't leaving blue states because they are upset about abortions. And Texas has an unemployment rate of 4.2%, worse than the national unemployment rate of 3.6%.

And here you claim you see the bigger picture and connect the dots? Sure, whatever, fake person pretending to be informed and pretending to be a Dem. Whatever.

Also, the loss of reproductive rights isn't just scary for those seeking abortions. Even for women who decide to keep their pregnancies, miscarriage is still possible, and women are already being turned away and shamed for that. It's our choice not to deal with that.

YES!!! And you clearly have not gone through the process of college applications. Your daughter would be welcomed and her application will be elevated and added to the stats every college brags about on their websites for inclusion. Seriously - take a harder look - she will be welcomed and that is progress - it has zero to do with red/blue state that so many here are determined to dig deeper in the name of division.

Don't send your daughter to Mississippi. They will have one of the most draconian, backwards women's rights environments in the entire country.

In fact, don't your send your sons there either. Women are second class citizens which is a good environment for no one.

LOL Liberty Univ expels any students who come out as gay. They force all students to sign an honor code that says they will not participate in same-sex activity or relationships.

WTF are you smoking? Crackhead.

Oh the irony....

"He says the most common punishment he saw was conversion therapy. 'Those students would be told that they should do counseling or do some sort of you know work to ‘work through’ that.' He says the group was called the Armor Bearers, run by the now-retired Pastor Dane Emerick."

I’m in CA and people have been flooding back. It’s actually annoying. I wish they’d stay in the red states. Traffic was better.

Respectfully, there is no net migration to CA from red states.

Yes, there is now. It’s ridiculous.

The California exodus

https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/06/11/californians-working-from-home-are-moving-to-mexico-amid-inflation.html

OMG you can’t read. Yes people left in 2021. But they are coming back. THAT is the point. So an article saying that people left in 2021 is not useful.

Look, I realize you don’t like this, but I’m in California and I can tell you that a ridiculous number of people are moving back. Rents are up. Traffic is up. It’s actually really annoying. I liked it when there were fewer people.

Guess we will see what happens over the next two years.

I think VA is going to swing back, honestly.

Of course, with the Supreme Court on board with this state legislature nonsense, NONE of this matters. Gerrymandered R legislatures Will overturn votes they don’t like in 2024 and the US will have a nationwide ban in 2025.

Which is why my kids are already starting to think about college abroad. They are even pushing us to move out of the US now.

You do realize that almost every nation abroad has much more restrictive abortion laws than the U.S.?

This is disinformation - clearly some parties know they are on their heels in this moral argument

Face it: even Ireland - one of the most Catholic nations on Earth- where St Patrick spread Christianity and where the book of Kells was created has recognized and enshrined into law - by public referendum no less- that a Woman has autonomy over her own body

ALL of the civilized Western Countries of the world agree: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/03/world/abortion-laws-international.html

States like TN, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, MO, Mississippi, SD and Ohio have stated that they wish to be ideologically linked to the likes of Yemen, Afghanistan, Nicaragua - backwaters

Their actions to enshrine in their laws that " the state controls a woman's body - or in some cases the body of a raped 10 year old" and that " this is a states rights issue not a human rights issue" is the same argument these same states used to cling to Slavery in the 19th century

Divest from them - they are extremely backward and most certainly do not risk your daughter's safety, her control over her own body and her own future by paying your hard earned 1/4 of a Million $$$$$ to send your daughter ( or son) to Universities in these backward states

This.

We're divesting. And that's that. All your whining only makes us want to do it even more.

TN is trying to lower its minimum age for marriage back to 15 ( now its 16) so that those PG barely teens can be forced to be barefoot, married and pregnant- just like 15 year olds in Afghanistan

Don't send your daughters to Vanderbilt where she might be surrounded by this type of backwardness during her critical early adulthood

Certainly DO NOT financially give ANYTHING to this State !

Boycott, Divest and pull your kids' College App

Are you *still* nattering on about this?

Seriously, this nutjob needs to give it a rest. Nobody in their right mind is not going to apply to Vanderbilt or any other college because the Supreme Court overturned Roe.

Such clueless, unhinged rants.

DP. I think you are the one who needs to give it a rest. You keep trying to insist that this is not a thing and shouldn't be talked about. You use gaslighting tactics to suggest people are somehow "nutjobs" for holding states and the businesses in them accountable. But, you're wrong on all counts. I know of many people using the power of their checkbooks. We are changing some of our purchasing habits, changed summer plans, we'll take our tourism dollars elsewhere and are taking other actions as well. There is nothing "nutjob" about using the power of one's checkbook to influence activity. You can try to keep insisting this is "nutjob" behavior and that "nobody will do this" all you like but you will still be wrong, as some of us have been doing this for decades, going back to taking action on organizations to get them to divest from South Africa to put pressure on them over apartheid, we saw it work with NCAA pressure and several other actions - and as such, we WILL keep doing it because we've already had several successes doing it in the past.

That’s nice, dear.
DP

Poll after poll shows that this is not the issue to most people you want it to be. It's just not.

It is. Many products and services will suffer the date of my pillow if they don't push back against this insanity. People are very very angry.

VERY angry.

Barely more than half oppose the SC decision, and less than half strongly oppose it. Only a slim margin of I's oppose and most R's agree. This was right after the decision. It will fade as an issue except for people who were already going to vote D anyway.

"By a 56%-to-40% margin, respondents oppose the court's decision, including 45% who strongly oppose it.

Almost 9-in-10 Democrats and a slim majority of independents (53%) are against the decision. Three-quarters of Republicans, on the other hand, support it."

Better hope that enough to support all these companies, colleges and other institutions because many of us are moving on to places and companies with more respect for women's rights.

Your individual anecdotal decision does not mean the majority of people agree with you. For most people, life goes on. Many of these states already had pretty restrictive abortion laws and were doing just fine. Polls show it is just not a top priority for most.

That is because people have their head in the sand. Once the impact starts to prevent more and more people from accessing healthcare and from enjoying healthy sex lives, people will realize all they have lost.

My lawyer and doctor friends say it's already a sh"tshow.

You don't think you can have a healthy sex life without being able to have an abortion?

+1. Imagine. There are consequences to having unbridled, carefree sex, which seems to shock some posters here.

A quick look at Ancestry. Com shows restricting sex has NEVER WORKED.

Ahhh... just look at the Hundreds of Millions of $$$$$$ being pulled from the Colleges and the Businesses in the " land that brought you Lynching" ...all because your backward politicians insist on denying AA women of your States Autonomy over their own Bodies

The 13th Amendment ended Involuntary servitude in your states 160 years ago.... despite what Clarence Thomas wishes
