Women like me in places like Texas are looking to places like Kansas and hopefully Ohio as hope and inspiration. Good luck!
Do you notice anyone leaving because of the laws Texas has? I can't imagine anyone with daughters staying unless they're crazy too.
Lots of them definitely are. I'm noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I've lived here.
We've seen a lot of Florida lately too, have you had that experience?
Yes. One of my closest friends - an engineer with a Masters degree - had a very nice job offer but she turned it down because of the basic lack of women’s reproductive health services.
She’s smart and capable and has the degrees - one from the Air Force Academy - to say fuck no. I respect her a lot, and I’m ashamed to still be here tbh
It's hard to change locations, that's what they're betting on. Please vote if you stay to keep it as far blue as you can.
If the number of Texans showing up in Seattle is why indication it certainly does seem to be a factor.
As an ohio woman, I hope we do you proud. We want a liberal state. But we can define every district as either pack or crack so we’re stuck with constitutional amendments

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
