I expect my daughter to factor it in. It's not just about BC -- there are medical emergencies that don't give you enough time to get to another state. BC fails sometimes, and ectopic pregnancies can go south very quickly.

Agreed. I think it should be a factor to consider, especially state like Texas where you could be liable even if you help someone get an abortion.

Texas has financially incentivized vigilantes to come after anyone that could be construed to be involved in helping someone get an abortion. Sounds like a good state to avoid for college and everything else.

Maybe more to the point, make sure he understands that if he impregnantes his girlfriend in one of those states, he's going to be a father with everything that entails in terms of his life plans.

If he's making college location decisions based on whether or not he impregnates his girlfriend, he's got bigger issues....geez people, get an F'in grip.

He should prepare for gender imbalances - many young women from women free states are not applying to colleges in states where their basic human rights to control their own bodies is being denied.

Hmmmm... are they? Do you have data to back this up? Or is this just among your small friend group.

If this is truly a factor in where your DD goes to college, then you have raised her with the morals of an alley cat. Sorry, but that's the truth.

You have raised her to value and respect women's rights. Same for our sons. Having women treated as second class citizens is not good for anyone.

That's not what the PP's post implies. She states that it is important to her daughter's college choice that she has abortion access. Any 18-21 YO young woman who makes important life decisions such as where she goes to college based on the fact that she may not be able to get an easy abortion has the morals of an alley cat. I stand by my earlier comment.

+1000. This is actually laughable.

I wonder if PP has any idea that almost all private colleges in the US are nearing 60-40 female/male rations, if they aren't already there, and that state universities are not far behind. "Gender imbalances" are already wildly in favor of these guys.

Drought, pandemic, civic unrest, racism ...all of these are a problem. Stay close to home because you will also get COVID.

Some if these young people are well educated, informed, and concerned about women's rights. Try educating your kids about important issues...they might appreciate it.

Alley cats are morally superior to trolls.

+ 1,000,000.

This thread is off the rails. OP sounds like a parent who was simply stating they’d be sad if their DS was very far away for college.

this is not all about abortions.

Restricting abortion leads to a lot of other issues for women - access to meds via pharmacies has already been shown to be an issue. States and pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions for meds that MIGHT be used to end a pregnancy even though someone has been on the med for a long time and it was prescribed for something not at all reproductive system related

But sure, keep calling all our children wh0res ;P

Way to deflect the point. Anyone this concerned about easy abortion access when she goes to college does not sound well-educated or informed at all. In fact, it sounds like she's going to college for the "experience," shall we say, rather to actually receive an education.

Way to miss the point. You write like someone very ignorant and inexperienced with reproductive issues. If you had experience with pregancy, childbirth, miscarriage, menstruation, infertility, contraception, etc. etc... you would understand thst reproductive rights are about a fundamental right of women to control critical decisions about their lives.

You have no idea to whom you're talking. But this is not about me. It's about an 18 year old girl and an obviously overly-domineering mother who is sadly putting her own misguided political anger ahead of what may be in her DD's desires and best interests.
