Absolutely terrifying.
I have 2 teenage daughters and though I was living in liberal California, when the opportunity presented itself to move the family to Canada I took it. I certainly hope neither of them ever needs an abortion, but if they do I did not want them having to deal with this kind of horrific nonsense on top of it.
Grew up in the south in the 80s and left for Canada 20 years ago. The writing has been on the wall for forever. The south will not change. People who don’t like it and are able will continue to leave.
I disagree, although I can definitely see where you are coming from. Places like Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi are still dealing with outright racism in some areas. There was even astory I read about a town that had a white okigarchy which wouldn’t give its black resudents mayorship. The South, while seeming like it won’t change, will eventually have to. There are a lot of demographic shifts happening here that will force it to change some. Not to mention a growing labor movement, awareness of clinate change, and growing activism to address social issues that will increasingly put pressure on local and stare governments. So, yes, it will take time to correct the inertia of the status quo, but it’s possible.
