Too bad the blue states aren't in a position to assure them guarantees of educations and jobs. It would leave the Southern states depleted of a future.

Legal abortion, legal MJ and tons of fresh water and scenic lakeshores.

The bonus is that there will still be fresh water and there won't be coastal flooding in 20-30 years.
And if the cold weather is a problem, global warming may mitigate that some too.

A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its women are on the ground. Then its finished; no matter how brave its warriors or how strong their weapons. Cheyenne proverb

(4,514 posts)Not covered by the MSM is the ongoing fight between the tribes and the state of OK. In a recent reelection ad our governor, Stitt, stated he "wrestled power away from the tribes" The ad disappeared for a while, the tribes sued and won, now the ad is back minus that phrase. He claims this despite the recent opinion of the SCOTUS for tribes on McGirt v Oklahoma, giving a massive portion of land in NE OK back to the tribes. The Cherokee Chief announced as of Sept.1, the OK flag would be banned from tribal lands. He recently reversed his position on that issue. Not every Native votes blue, but we are untied on sovereignty.

(46,697 posts)I would say that surprises me about the Native votes, but I do understand that this probably is due to the time when Southern Democrats controlled the Senate.

(4,514 posts)Conservatives in OK are promising to end government hand outs. Requiring women to be sterilized before their living children can have food, housing and medical care is their plan to rid society of those they consider less than human.
I am a woman living in red state. Today, I became livestock, living under christian rule.

(9,895 posts)No visits, trips, stays, conferences or entry except to pass through.
No commerce - I will buy enough gas to pass through without stopping or bring spare gas cans if necessary..
No buying goods or services from such places - no food, no beverages, no restaurants, nothing.
No positive endorsements to others about such places.
In fact, I am going to also ask anyone I associate with if they support women's rights to control their own bodies - not have abortions, but have bodily autonomy. If they answer "no", I am going to ask them for a kidney to freeze as a spare in case I need one later. I am also going to cordially inite them to leave and darken my doorstep no more.
Will these actions matter?
Not if I remain alone in the efforts...but it will help me sleep and look into the eyes of my wife and 3 daughters to know that I am refusing to participate in treating them as second class citizens.

or
Drive to a state that does perform abortions
You don't have to migrate to other states

(42,660 posts)Moving is a big deal and I suspect that there a lot of women who support a women's right to an abortion who don't necessarily think they will need an abortion (or who believe they'll be able to get one in a neighboring state, which would be far less disruptive than giving up their jobs and homes to relocate).
