[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m very pro choice and the Supreme Court opinion is appalling. I would never expect (or want, although it’s their decision) my kids to factor that decision into college choice. I’m hoping they practice safer sex and if not, I’ll be happy to get anyone where they need to go for health care if it becomes necessary.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]

You make valid points and I completely understand why families are making this a factor in college decisions.  But I hope people are putting the risks in perspective.  For example, there is a MUCH greater risk of a female college student getting killed in a car accident than getting pregnant while practicing safe sex/using birth control and then developing an ectopic pregnancy, or some similar condition, that requires immediate emergency treatment.  And even if a state were to outlaw Plan B, have your kid take a supply with them -- no one's going to search their dorm room.  [/quote]

It represents an insidious disrespect for women and their freedom and privacy to go troll their own reproductive choices.  Why go to state that is smacking it's women back 50 years in time in terms of their basic rights?[/quote]

Not arguing with that.  I respect those who make choices based on principles/values. [/quote]

Sure unless those principles are unjust [/quote]

But they have the right to make personal choices (not choices for others) based on their individual principles/values just the same.   [/quote]
Getting lost in this back and forth.

I stand by that you cannot justify outlawing abortion for all women if a state by claiming. "that is the value of that state.  They tried to justify slavery with that states rights argument.[/quote]
