No. It’s about women’s autonomy and equality. If a woman doesn’t have control of her reproductive health, she has no control over her life. |
Nah got the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America for that. Better beaches, better food, no mass shootings. Your’re in Haiti territory right now. |
Stop embarrassing yourself, PP. |
Yeah, that’s the issue.

#1 - I am already done with college #2 - my hair is HARDLY mousy #3 I grew up in the midatlantic and think Birks are hideous |
Access to equality, dear. You can keep parroting the same crap over and over again but you’re just embarrassing yourself. |
Eh, I don’t think it really has. You’re Catholic, right? So am I. I’m also a lady lawyer whose FT day job for the last 25 years has been pursuing social justice. ND and Georgetown and CUA and the rest have always been anti-abortion conservative bastions. While I’m a bleeding heart liberal who cheers for the Nuns on the Bus and priests who focus on social justice, I realize that Catholic academia is *very very conservative.* Always has been, always will be. You are looking at your own education through rose colored, nostalgia infused glasses. Honestly, I think you should let your kids go wherever they want. It’s their life. Plus, living in a liberal bubble isn’t good for liberals. It took me a decade in the social justice trenches before I realized our side wasn’t very effective at building consensus and advancing change. After mingling with the other side, I was much better equipped to change hearts and minds. |
you don’t se‘em to realize it’s not just the access to abortion that she is rejecting. She is rejecting what that stands in terms of women’s rights. She is rejecting the backwards mindset, not the “access to an abortion clinic“. The access to abortion is a symptom of the sickness. |
Jesus, stop! You’re trolling and it’s making you look like such a bitter old fool. |

No. We have the power of veto and we’re vetoing our alma mater. |
because the south is the utopia for diversity? I actually AM looking for schools with decent diversity for my daughter. She has grown up in NoVA, and is actually a minority in her school as a caucasian child. Our girls have friends of many colors, religious backgrounds, etc. It is absolutely something we would seek in a college. At least 3 of the 4 in New England under serious consideration seem to have a reasonably diverse student body. |
The only posters embarrassing themselves are those ashamed of their own backgrounds and educations while they look down on others. |
Fact: New England is not a diverse area. |

I am glad I don't even have to veto my alma mater. Our teen wouldn't get in AND we can't afford it
That makes it easier As a yankee, I never expected to go to a school in the south. But it is a great school and I had a wonderful experience. Things weren't quite as scary legally then, though |
