I live in a city known for cheap rent. It's entirely possible to find a decent apartment (with roommates ofc) for $200/month, all-included.
You have a point about the lack of snow, but that's also a thing on the west coast or the Mediterranean.

> Less access to medical care (ie planned parenthood), birth control, abortion. Not much to do.
I just checked on Google and there are three Planned Parenthoods within a 30 minute drive of me in Houston. Every doctor prescribes birth control and you can buy condoms in every gas station.
Edit: just checked the PP website and only one of the three offers abortion but it's still an easy drive.
There is a lot to do in the city center, but the suburbs are bland. Which is a pattern you'd see in any city, even NYC or Toronto I'd imagine.n

I do remember that. They had wanted to make abortion centers meet the standards for hospital surgical wards in the interests of """"""""women's safety"""""". Because you know what if there's a medical emergency and the abortion center hallways are only 72" wide instead of 96" wide it could endanger the women. Rick Perry cares so very much about women's safety, really, it has nothing to do with restricting access.
Jokes aside, I do find it funny though that when it comes to regulating abortion liberals start sounding like Milton Friedman. It's like they have some kind of tunnel vision libertarianism where they see the price and availability of abortion - and only abortion - as being negatively impacted by government regulations.

No they view abortion as a right protected by the Constitution, not a good like eggs or a service like FedEx. I don't personally know any liberals who think that government regulation has zero impact on the price or availability of goods, just that having a perfectly efficient market is not an end in itself. Markets are a tool we use to achieve some other higher order desire. Sometimes they work mostly unregulated, usually not.

Serious question though: how could the Founding Fathers have had an opinion on it considering abortion as we know it didn't exist in 1790?
It's like those 2nd amendment arguments people make that it that doesn't apply to AR-15s because all they had was single shot muskets in 1790.

How can "freedom of the press" apply to entirely online news organizations? How can the 4th apply to infrared cameras and gps tracking devices? It's the underlying principle of the thing. If there is a "right to privacy" like Roe holds, then abortion cannot be outlawed because it's the government infringing on your constitutional rights. The specific ways in which they could be violated are not laid out in the Constitution and don't need to be.

abortion has been a thing since long before 1790. Not the medical abortion we have now, by no means, but as far back as the 7th century BC are references to drinks that cause abortion. and people have known about falling down stairs for a long time, too.

uh no it is an independent district created when maryland and virginia donated land > The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district
