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.
Ultimately this is a brain drain story.
Which ultimately helps the party that doesn’t want people to think for themselves and only parrot the party line.
The same party that is gutting state schools, re-legalizing child labor laws.
Long term, and we are likely seeing it already, those states will underperform and be a strain on the country.
We really could use a way to reshuffle underperforming states.
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.
I also wouldn’t want her to die from an ectopic pregnancy
I wouldn’t want that, either. I’d want to be where care is easily available and obstetricians aren’t afraid to do their jobs.
And red states won’t correct course until their universities become giant sausage parties and star high school football players wise up that they can get more poon in blue states.
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.
The Midwest used to have excellent schools.
It still does they’re just only in IL, MN, and MI now
My first thoughts from reading the headline was that it probably had to do with abortion and cannabis legalization.

Or, you know, if you’re worried about being one of the 14% of women in the U.S. who are rape survivors.…
Some campuses have such horrifyingly greater rates of rape too… It varies from campus to campus, but it’s a systemic issue. Source
Irrelevant. Women’s health is an issue I wouldn’t expect you to understand, however.
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?
I’m going to assume you don’t have any form of insurance? Can’t predict if you’ll need it, after all.
