One survey shows as many as 73 percent of young adults are taking state abortion laws into account when making decisions about where to go to college. Savannah Sellers reports on one of the most important decisions in the lives of young students and their families.
My first thoughts from reading the headline was that it probably had to do with abortion and cannabis legalization.
Seriously, I mean that was what I focused on when shopping around for higher education. 1) do you sanction the drugs I like to study with and 2) do you sanction killing off tiny humans if I make a oopsie.
I didn’t finish school, maybe the weed had something to do with it if I’m being honest but at least I’m not an uneducated father!
Tiny human? Is that what you call a formless mass of cells?
Zygotes and embryos are closer to zygotes and embryos of other species then they are of fully developed human babies. Would you consider the zygote of a pig a “tiny human”?
Another note, no one studies with weed. Why do I even bother with these out of touch people?
you get a biopsy well I’m going to take this tiny human down to the lab to see if it’s malignant. Now give me your arm so I can extract some liquid human
What we really should be doing is normalizing the name “maybe-baby” for fetuses…“fetus” sounds too clinical. So people colloquially call it a baby, and that makes some people think of any stage of fetus as a baby, despite the fact miscarriages are extremely common and sometimes they just die randomly even very late in gestation…
So it’s really a maybe-baby
Calling it anything close to baby gives these people ammunition. I fine with the clinical terms but if we really need a branding campaign let’s get rid of the words abortion and termination. Cell removal? Uterus purge?
