Women like me in places like Texas are looking to places like Kansas and hopefully Ohio as hope and inspiration. Good luck!

Lots of them definitely are. I'm noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I've lived here.

Yes. One of my closest friends - an engineer with a Masters degree - had a very nice job offer but she turned it down because of the basic lack of women’s reproductive health services.
She’s smart and capable and has the degrees - one from the Air Force Academy - to say fuck no. I respect her a lot, and I’m ashamed to still be here tbh

If the number of Texans showing up in Seattle is why indication it certainly does seem to be a factor.

As an ohio woman, I hope we do you proud. We want a liberal state. But we can define every district as either pack or crack so we’re stuck with constitutional amendments
