Will the Killing of Roe v. Wade slow/stop the exodus of liberals from blue states to red states?

Probably not. In fact, most Americans, although they have an opinion on the issue of abortion, tend not to be that strongly opinionated about it. As one wag put it, "Americans are opposed to abortion except in cases of rape, incest and me."

Fun fact: In the recent election for Governor in Virginia, 60% of those who identified themselves as "pro-choice" voted for the pro-life Republican candidate. Frankly, the abortion issue simply does not carry, the current headlines notwithstanding, as much weight with the American public as more immediate issues like inflation, education, crime, etc.

Bottom line, the reason that liberals are moving to red states is that crime and taxes are lower and the education systems tend to be better run. Abortion is not part of their calculations as it will, on the whole, whatever their theoretical views, not likely have a direct impact on their lives.

So there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth and the general pattern, perhaps after a short interval, will likely resume. The truth being that the volume of the abortion debate is inversely proportional to the degree to which most Americans believe it will impact their lives.

I hope so. My state used to be a swing state.

Liberals came here and absolutely ruined it. Our major cities are overrun by homelessness, heroin needles and litter.

It’s funny people moved to my state to get out of NY or California. But they bring all their liberal bullshit politics with them essentially turning my state into California 2.0 or New York 2.0.

It'll spark people moving from those close minded super religion fuled states to more liberal ones. What it's not gonna do is stop abortions in those states; it's gonna be people having unsafe procedures to terminate unwanted pregnancies. And that's on the nicer side of what will happen

[007kingifrit]

the law changes have already resulted in babies being born, so we know what you are saying isn't true

besides "it should be legal as people will break the law anyways" is not a good argument

[Sirenboobzilla]

No uterus, no opinion

[007kingifrit]

well roe v wade was decided by 9 men, so i guess you're against roe v wade?

[Sirenboobzilla]

@007kingifrit Of men taking mine and any other woman's federally protected right to choose and sending it to the states? Damn straight I'm against the overturning

[007kingifrit]

so you like the decision decided by 9 men, but not the decision decided by 3 women and 6 men

hypocrite

[KrakenAttackin]

@Sirenboobzilla. Well, when girls show they have accountability than maybe that will matter... until than we will have to think rationally for you.

[Sirenboobzilla]

By all means, come to me and help me make rational decisions. See where I put you

[OlderAndWiser]

Perhaps, but only those of childbearing age.

Liberals are concentrated in pretty much every city. You’ll probably see a gradual migration of liberal women to other Blue states, yes. Conservative women can go anywhere they want, really. Conservative or Liberal, it’s the uneducated and/or impoverished that will be hit the hardest without the right support. These women need to get get birth control and/or condoms asap, or just abstain altogether. Or accept that it’s okay to date other women.

Red states better be careful because not every child born becomes a successful taxpayer, rather a net negative on their system.

Blue states will probably welcome them with open arms into shitty housing and living conditions. But at least they’ll have another low earning taxpayer.

So, when the dust settles, both sides will get what they want I suppose, while the cost is transferred to those women unless dumb shit men grow the fuck up and not treat them as fucking cum dumpsters. Like a gun and not pointing it something you don’t intend to kill and eat, don’t point your dick at something you don’t intend to impregnate and take care of. And women need to have self respect and not allow themselves to be treated shit.

No offense, but red states are usually poor, and I’m not, so I’ll be staying where I’m at with my nice ocean view, lmao. I don’t label myself a liberal, but I’m decidedly NOT conservative. But I don’t even need to get into the politics of it. I’m just not trying to live anywhere where going to Red Lobster or Olive Garden counts as a “nice dinner out.” We out here eating porterhouses and Maine lobster tails at The Capital Grille. You think I’m gonna move to Alabama or something? Just lmfao. I’ve been to some places in the South and the Midwest that would be red states, and just the quality of life, I couldn’t do it, man, I’d rather kill myself lmao.

[normalice]

It's mostly conservatives that are leaving blue states. Or at least red districts in blue states that had the most population reduction in the last census. This is why republicans could only gerrymander a handful of extra seats for themselves with the redistricting, unlike the 30 seats they seemed to have gerrymandered for themselves every decade for the last 40 years.

[ronaldo75]

Not at all. Most of us rich liberals who are going to red states are not the garbage that uses abortion as birth control.

We're going to buy up all the land in red states and you're not going to stop us. My super liberal leftist family bought land in Florida last year and now we're on our way to buying cheap cheap HUGE land in Maine and Oklahoma.

[Reaper1985]

likely to cause many of the pro-abortion people moving to deep blue states. while the pro-life people move to deep red states. however there is likely to be some pro-choice states that the people in the middle move to.

[Avicenna]

One can dream. But in reality, the blue states are mismanaged, do most of them aren’t places you’d rather live, as the exodus from California, New York, and Illinois amply demonstrates.

[Physics-Man]

I hadn't thought about that, but I hope so! Keep those States Red forever!

[lofii]

Lol hopefully.

Next ban same sex marriages 💪

[Likes2drive]

I doubt anyone is going anywhere until they need an abortion for some emergency, maybe people should be using better birth control methods so it doesn’t get to that point unless they got raped

[Cubus]

I am pretty sure people would still move away from California to Texas just to have better life quality and not to pay income tax.

[CloudMassacre]

I think it’ll cause people to leave anti choice states

[msc545]

It probably will. The red states were not lovely places to begin with, and this decision just made them even less popular.

[888theGreat]

I think they mostly go to New York or California , which helps Conservatives

[OddBeMe]

Nah we’ll still take over your puny states.

[007kingifrit]

hmmm, maybe. didn't think about that

[Andres77]

One can only hope

[Bratsondanielle]

Let's hope so

[DWornock]

Not likely.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I sure hope so

[Anonymous]

I hope so

These women will have to be accountable and behave
