I can’t speak for Tight, but my fiancé and I are in the same boat. We’re getting married soon and in a year or two will be looking to have kids. Mastriano winning scares us with him looking to make abortions illegal. Now, obviously we’re not looking to have an abortion just for the sake of having one, but God forbid something were to happen to her during the pregnancy that would risk her life, not being able to terminate the pregnancy right away to prevent that, and instead watch her suffer while our doctors run around trying to figure out the legal ramifications to what absolutely has to be done instead of being you know, doctors, scares us all to hell.

This is my thought process as well and it's genuinely pretty terrifying. My husband and I put off trying until we felt we were in a good spot and the potential of what you mentioned makes me regret that. This election is huge for a lot of people and a lot of reasons.
I'm also not able to vote yet (green card holder but not a citizen) and the fact that there are people saying it wouldn't be that bad or choosing to sit this one out because they don't like Mastriano/Oz but refuse to vote for a Democrat makes me angry and a little sad.

So pulling up stakes and moving is a better option than just driving to say New York or Maryland to get an abortion if the need arised?

No, but voting to not have that happen is way easier than both of those options.

I was referring to saying they would move from the state, I didn't mention voting.

Yes, you were replying to me. This whole post is about voting. What I’m saying is it’s a topic we’ve discussed and it is a possibility. Moving is not out of the question. It would be hard, but luckily possible for us if it were to come to that. But it is easier to vote and make sure that’s not something we have to worry about.
