    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 wouldn’t want that, either. I’d want to be where care is easily available and obstetricians aren’t afraid to do their jobs.

    My first thoughts from reading the headline was that it probably had to do with abortion and cannabis legalization.

    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.

      so if you are not able to afford move out of a state or just stuck where you are it is your fault?

      what about the ones of us not allowed to vote was it our fault we have bad laws in our state too?

      what about the ones of us who because of work or whatever have to cross state lines?

      when do make politicians accountable or is always those people’s fault for not voting right or living in the right state?
