    Frankly those exceptions are just empty rhetoric anyway. The legal process for obtaining one takes too long to have the abortion. If they wanna shoot themselves in the foot by not even making an empty gesture, fine.

    Not like exceptions mean anything to begin with. States with exceptions don’t create a process to receive those exceptions so victims have to navigate the states red tape in hopes that they get a pass in under 9 months. Spoiler alert, they won’t.

    To be fair, Exxon - the employer of the Louisiana State Legislature - has no official position on the subject. Their corrupt officials are doing this on their own time.

      If people start jumping ship from these states, the problem gets worse. We actually need an influx of left wing voters in the south, especially in rural areas.

      If you can work remotely, then housing is super cheap.

        Hone insurance is skyrocketing across the south because of increased risk from hurricanes and flooding, and those areas are only going to become more inhospitable as climate change marches on.

        The problem is living in the south sucks. There’s a reason why cost of living is low

    Many Pelican State lawmakers are trying mightily to prevent their own daughters from aborting babies that they themselves have sired. Being deprived of the opportunity to be just like John Huston in Chinatown is clearly unthinkable to these fellas

      No you misunderstand. These laws are for poor people. The lawmakers will have their daughters flown up north to a state where they can still get one

        “The lawmakers will have their daughters flown up north to a state where they can still get one”

        These are conservative lawmakers. They’ll cut spending, by having someone in their security detail set things right,with via the sharpest coat hanger on the rack

      “It’s disgusting to me that we have a society where we can’t make exceptions in a situation where a young girl’s innocence has been taken away in the most vile way… and now she’s impregnated and somebody, somewhere, wants to force a nine, 10, 11, 12, 13-year-old child to have a baby for the monster that took away her innocence?” Knox said.

      “Um, yeah. That would be us.” – Republicans.

      The fundamental disconnect is that they believe a fetus is a human life.

      So to them, you’d be asking for legal permission to do a murder so you don’t have to be responsible for a child. I’m not saying it is correct, but it is internally consistent.
