I would say that sounds like a blue state.

No kidding. No red state would support those policies because the alleged "pro-life" movement is (and has always been) about punishing and controlling women for having sex, NOT about actually caring about children.

I am sorry this is just not true.

I live in the south- you should see all the adopted kids from around the world in our church. Our whole community is geared around youth activities. We have very active charities, through our churches and otherwise.

Our local pediatric hospital will accept ANY insurance for kids. Try that in coastal cities and see what happens.

I am not going to convince you on this SC decision but you do yourself a disservice to dismiss pro life people (and the places where they live) as uncaring for children.

Women who have terminated a pregnancy are not murderers. That is only your truth, not the truth.

When will people understand that it isn't about abortion. It is about autonomy. It is about the right of a woman to control her body. Banning abortions is not about abortion, it is about controlling women. I wouldn't get one ever, if my daughter wanted one, I would take her but I would be sad about it. How I feel about abortion or how I feel about anything shouldn't take precedence over another human being's autonomy in a civilized society.

And the truth is that women will continue to control their reproduction as best they can as they always have, do and will. A bunch if old coots in back robes that don't know mentruation from a miscarriage will not deter this.

We're taking our tourism dollars elsewhere - there are lots of fantastic choices outside of your repressive Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas etc.

Europe has more restrictive abortion laws than New York and Washington DC. Are you going to forgo going there because they don’t allow getting unfettered abortions in the third trimester?

Personally, I’m refusing to go to states that don’t allow partial birth abortions.

Not relevant. Europe isn't imposing their politics on my country.

But if you don't approve of those limitations, then you would want to not spend your money there.

Republican or democrat or independent...she does not have the rights in texas that we all had for almost 50 years. They are literally going backwards in time.

Rather than cut off all ties with the south, let’s try to figure out how we got here so we can then determine how to get things back on track.

Did your list include Virginia? The guy you elected already said he wants to take action, op. Or, are you only targeting “those Deep South” states dcum likes to criticize as backwards? I think your faux purple VA is just like the others on your list. So, shall we write off VA and aaaaaaalllllll those VA based corporations? Are you ready to bail on Amazon?

Not op, but I sure am.
Also, applications hardly reflect yesterday’s decision. And kids can continue to attend schools in these states - it’ll just be a lot more dangerous for the women. But, I support choice even if I disagree with the choice someone makes.

Literally 5% of the population lists abortion as their biggest issue that they’re voting on in the mid terms. This thread, and the posters on here, are way more focused on this issue than the majority of the population. This is becoming a boutique issue for upper middle class white women.

Voters are dumb AF. Wait until these draconian laws affect them personally.

The economy affects everyone. Abortion, not so much. Dems would have a better case if they weren’t aligning themselves with people who advocate for abortions up until birth for whatever reason given. In the age of high resolution ultrasounds that kind of stuff is not supported by more than 70 percent of the population and is banned in most countries and states because people think it is barbaric outside of exceptions for the the mother’s health. Dems need to stop aligning themselves with the far left fringe on social issues like this. It is not a winning model. Take Hillary’s advice and stick to “safe, legal, and rare” and don’t give any traction to the people who want to celebrate their abortions.

Red herring. 3rd trimester abortions are very rare and for very sad reasons.

Banning abortion will ultimately impact economy as well. You’ll drive more families into poverty. Decrease education rate. Increase crime rates. Etc.

We all lose.

Not a red herring. It is legal in states like New York to have an abortion up until birth for any reason. That is barbaric and most people in the country and around the world think so. It doesn’t matter that they’re very rare and done in very sad circumstances, it’s the fact that the law codifies that someone can abort a viable baby at 30 weeks if they felt like it for no reason that’s the issue.

If liberals would just stick to fighting for abortion in the first trimester and then abortion after that in special circumstances that are approved by a physician then you would have a lot more people on your side. When you start celebrating your abortions on IG and advocating for people’s rights to abort viable babies on a whim you lose a lot of people. Just stick to France’s abortions laws and stop advocating for barbarity to stick it to Trumpsters.

First of all, we do have a lot more people on our side. We have the majority of people on our side. Thanks for the advice, though.

Second, we have no problem with approval by a physician. We believe it should be a matter between the patient and the doctor. But that's not what forced-birthers have done - they've taken that decision away from the doctors and the patients and given it to state legislatures. And that's horrifying.

Exactly. It is done via “physician approval” today.

There is no need for the GOP to interject their religion or ignorant politicians into this medical decision.

Stay TF out of my doctor’s appointments.

So she’s ok robbing women of their basic rights.

No wonder she couldn’t get into a better vet school.

I hate when people say there's always adoption like there aren't unintended very negative, very hurtful, very traumatic consequences for everyone involved in that choice and especially for the child. Especially now when you can easily find out who your birth parents were or your family through DNA, It is so hurtful.

Every child deserves to be wanted by their birth parents.

Exactly. I’m “anti abortion”. I think we should implement the supports to prevent unwanted pregnancies, birth defects, etc. Free, easily accessible contraceptives, sex education, health care, subsidized child care, maternity leave, etc.

BUT abortion should be available to any women who needs it. Contraception fails. Men rape. Illnesses happen. Jobs can be lost. Marriages fail. Sh-t happens.

It’s legal because it’s necessary for some very rare, very sad reasons. Those ARE already decided by doctors.

What’s barbaric is taking away women’s bodily autonomy. Some red states are banning all abortions. This will only hurt women. Families. Children. All of us.

Disgusting that you see no problem with this.
