In reply to the discussion: Reports of HS students chosing colleges w/ an eye to the states policies [View all]NullTuples
(6,017 posts)17. It's worse than, "practitioners will leave these states"...far worse. This will affect all states.
Where will they go? It's not like the other half of the United States has unlimited OB/Gyn & similarly affected jobs that need to be filled. The number of jobs are based on the local population likely to need their services.
So then next year and the next - the number of new practitioners in those fields will be cut in half going forward. They'll have nowhere to learn, nowhere to train.
And for specialties, where there might only be a couple dozen truly skilled & experienced top practitioners in the country? Some will retire early. Others may move overseas. And that means waiting lists and delays for treatment will grow far beyond what they are now. And again, only half the spots to train new replacements going forward.
Republicans are forcing their religious values on every state in the union.

Except they're draining the entire country, by design. It's not just their own states.

It's not unreasonable to also consider that young men will go where the young women are going..
