One survey shows as many as 73 percent of young adults are taking state abortion laws into account when making decisions about where to go to college. Savannah Sellers reports on one of the most important decisions in the lives of young students and their families.

As a guy, the same thing would be important to me. I’d want a girlfriend who valued herself enough to make that choice. Also, what if I screwed up and got her pregnant? I’d want her to get whatever care she chose, and not be treated like a breed sow.
As someone who used to be a teenager, I imagine that remaining 27% being mostly guys that haven’t thought that far ahead, and would have been much higher in my day
Congratulations to the zoomers for proof that you’re compassionate and can think beyond immediate needs and desires
What do you mean screwed up? I’m assuming you mean forgetting to wear protection? Do you have mind control over the fertilization success of your flagellates? Or you mean a mistake as in having nonconsensual unprotected sex (aka assault - I hope not)? I’m pretty sure unintended pregnancy can happen without the male “screwing up”.
Abortion and birth control must and should be freely available. However, sex and birth control is and should be a consensual two way street.
If you go back to the 1980s there is an article in Playboy (the articles were actually pretty good) talking about how the Indy 500 was just a party for Hoosiers who got a great education and moved away for opportunity to come back home and be nostalgic.
I want to read this article. I went to the Indy 500 for the first time ever last year because I love Indy Car and racing. But let’s just say I wasn’t a huge fan of a lot of the attendees. I’m pretty sure not too many of the educated Indiana diaspora are returning anymore.
Listen up, red state! Either you sanction the killing of the preborn or I just can't bring myself to get an education there! You regressive red states are really on the wrong side of history!
Seriously, I mean that was what I focused on when shopping around for higher education. 1) do you sanction the drugs I like to study with and 2) do you sanction killing off tiny humans if I make a oopsie.
I didn't finish school, maybe the weed had something to do with it if I'm being honest but at least I'm not an uneducated father!
Tiny human? Is that what you call a formless mass of cells?
Zygotes and embryos are closer to zygotes and embryos of other species then they are of fully developed human babies. Would you consider the zygote of a pig a "tiny human"?
Another note, no one studies with weed. Why do I even bother with these out of touch people?
I mean...duh? Basically the entire point of having different laws in different states is that people can choose what laws they want to live under. No one should be surprised that young people are considering that when choosing colleges.
Most people aren't exactly choosing... they're just too economical destitute to leave, because the society/government/capitalism has kept them poor. Totally possible for people to get trapped.
what about the ones of us who because of work or whatever have to cross state lines?
A while back I had to travel for work so read up on my employers benefits - apparently they’ll cover emergency airlift back to a developed country for medical emergencies
That's where you're supposed to have basic rights. But that hasn't been a thing in the US... Uhhh .... Ever. Even when SCOTUS didn't let cops kill people wantonly, it just never got that far in the legal system. So I guess there's at least been progress?
But yeah I'm not going to be mad that the people who can get out of the worst states do so. It doesn't mean we stop fighting for basic rights, it means the idea of 50 laboratories is working. For example, you don't hear much about the flat tax idea after Brownback obliterated the government in Kansas with it.
Growing up there was a saying the jerks in town used to say- "all fags go to Harvard". Anyone else ever hear this line? I still can't figure out what it was supposed to mean, but feels related
If you want better access to healthcare as a woman, apply for schools in blue states.
Or it could be about more than abortion access.
Young women could just be choosing to move out of or away from states that have outlawed basic medical operations for women. College is probably the first opportunity that most people have to move away from home. And people going to college generally want to improve their lives, so why not go somewhere better?
