Wrong. Women are full citizens and have a right to personal liberty. Just like a man. Men and women also have the right to privacy when it comes to medical care. And we all have the freedom of religion. Religious extremists can’t force their beliefs on others. |

+1000. Translation: I don't want to move somewhere that I have to act responsibly and put a lid on my wild sex life. |

| Make sure your kids have access to plenty of birth control and know the importance of using it. Make sure they know the ramifications of their choices in sexual activity. Not that difficult. Yes, sometimes birth control doesn't work, but mostly it does. Make sure young women who don't want children don't get pregnant. Not impossible. |

This Stuy student cannot be herself because her right to an abortion is not constitutionally protected in certain states?!!! |

You want to force all college kids to abstain from sex? You can’t force your religious views on others. |

This os a dumb take that ignores the economic realities of higher education in 2022. There is a finite supply of parents of college age kids out there who are full pay, when full pay looks like $300k (or more per kid). Maybe the top 5-7% of the population. Top 10% is 200k HHI and That’s the donut hole. And conservative parents who can pay this amount often do not believe the brand name education or an OOS education is worth the high price tag. They often send their kids a tier down with merit or in state. The issue for a brand name school isn’t filling seats post Roe. It’s filling enough seats with full pay students, who effectively subsidize everyone else. The problem with you take is that the parents you call “liberal brainwashed,” colleges call “highly coveted full pay” and “necessary to keep the light on”. And on to this that the number of high school grads have peaked and the long anticipated college demographic cliff is coming. And yeah— some red state schools will have issues. And I agree— it’s that the people of the state have elected people who have codified a second class citizenship status. It is degrading. Also, you send a kid to Wash U. She has an unplanned pregnancy. She comes home and you discuss this as a family and she decides to have an abortion in the DMV. She goes back to Wash U. Which is in a state with laws against leaving MO for an abortion. Congrats. Your kid is a felon. And you think MO wouldn’t love to make an example of a liberal college kid? |

You mean the unwanted fetuses? That is beyond sick to force women to give birth to children they don’t want. Every child deserves to be wanted. |

Why is this necessarily a religious view? |

+1. I find it hilarious and telling that one of the first default arguments of the pro-aborts is contesting other people's religious views -- especially when they have no idea to whom they are talking, and whether or not those people are even "religious" in the first place. Hey Einstein - people can be "moral" and believe that abortion is murder, without having a shred of religious intent. |

| For those who say college location doesn’t matter given recent events - If you don’t know when your kids lost their virginity then you probably won’t know what they are up to in college, you may not know if they are violated or raped, and should they get pregnant in such unfortunate circumstances, you better hope they attend college where women still have rights to choose, or otherwise have means to cross state lines. |

I had an ectopic pregnancy with a Minera IUD. Very scary— mine ruptured and it was a running to the ER situation. And I learned that IUDs can and do fail. And when they do, the pregnancy is often ectopic and needs to be terminated under emergency conditions so the woman doesn’t bleed out. I would not want my daughter to have an ectopic pregnancy in a red state. Plus, there is an injectable numbing agent that is often used for IUD insertion and removal ( and sometimes removals are medically necessary because the IUD perforates the uterus, for example. The same numbing agent is used in abortions. Now red state pharmacies are refusing to dispense the medication because they are afraid it could be diverted for abortions |

Off topic-- but how does that work? Kid is not technically domiciled in a red state, they are domiciled in their home state, attending college in the red state. With the exception of private colleges, they pay out of state tuition and are on their parents' tax returns. I understand that they have to follow the laws where they are attending college, while they are there---but can Missouri hold an out of state resident as a prisoner and prevent her from getting health care in her home state? That would make Missouri it's own country. |

Oh it was for almost 50 years and it will be again. The right showed us how that is done thank you very much. Change the justices...change the constitutional rights. |
