Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It's easy for me to say, being that I'm a man living in Illinois, but if you're a woman living in Texas that can get pregnant what justification do you have for not leaving? The state is maybe not literally trying to kill you, but something like an accidental conception resulting in an ectopic pregnancy is a literal death sentence in Texas.
And if I'm not mistaken they can even chase you down and jail you if you "decide" to leave the state to pursue an abortion in that situation.
It’s a valid question. I can only do my job here, it’s a very specialized area. Maybe one other place in the US, but I’d have to go overseas for anything else.
I am married and so it’s not just me moving. We are child free and I have talked to my doctor about getting those parts removed to avoid the issue altogether, but she says that the combination of my age plus my type of contraception (IUD), I should be okay.
And I have offers to take a holiday and “visit friends” in other states/countries if I should need to. I’m lucky in that respect.
I hate it here but given everything I just said, I feel okay with staying until I’m able to retire and gtfo. Until then, I’ll keep voting against these assholes and hoping that more and more folks will begin to do the same until they’re gone.
