[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn’t sure whether to post this here or the college section but decided to err on the side of caution.

So the midterms proved that gen-z are highly passionate about abortion rights. My question is will kids who have the financial and practical option to do so op not to attend the previously popular schools like Rice, Vanderbilt or Oberlin that are in pro life states?

I heard the argument that kids could just return to their parents state to get abortions if need be. However 18-21 year olds want to spread their wings and be independent. I was close to my parents but I didn’t tell them about sexual encounters that I had or every gynaecological appointment I made. There are boundaries! Also in emergency situations like an ectopic pregnancy or rape or complications in the 2nd or  3rd trimester of a wanted pregnancy, it might not be practical to travel beyond your local hospital. Young women might want to have the peace of mind that they will be covered in whatever college state they choose.

Is the residential system at Rice THAT good that no other college in a pro-choice state equals it?

Can any parents of High school or older kids who are applying to college now or the near future comment on if this is a factor for them at all?[/quote]

I think this is absolutely irrelevant. If my kids were to exclude all states doing funny things, I frankly don't think they could study in any state at all.[/quote]

Abortion bans are only "funny things" to posters that are willfully ignorant of how many people around them have struggled with reproductive issues.  Get a clue.  It's a critical issue [/quote]
