Research: In southwestern state with pro-life laws, membership increased over the past ten years.
Turns out young people are never fleeing says that forbid elected abortions to protect unborn children.
Basically, it seems quite the same. Northeast learners are heading for college, according to a recent Axios record, which doesn’t mention this aspect, but most states completely restrict or forbid abortion.
Politico suggested politics are a major factor for students when choosing a school along with “warm weather,” “fun,” “merit scholarships,” and “affordability.” It cited the quicker end of the COVID-19 shutdowns by Republican-led states and, more recently, the violent pro-Palestinian protests at universities in a number of north, Democratic-led states as contributing factors to the southern trend.
Between 2014 and 2023, the biggest membership transitions from north to southern institutions occurred, in Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, according to Forbes. The period is important because all six states started enforcing pro-life laws within that century.
Georgia, for instance, forbids abortions after six weeks of pregnancy after an pregnant baby’s heartbeat is detected.
Its pro-life law has been in effect for a number of years, and it doesn’t appear to be having a negative impact on student decisions to attend school. An “all-time history” number of students were enrolled at the University of Georgia System in the slide.
However, according to Axios,” Louisiana State University saw a almost 500 % increase in student participation from the Northeast, from 100 individuals in 2014 to 568 in 2023.”
State laws in Louisiana prohibit elected miscarriages from the time of conception, protecting unborn children.
The data refutes a well-known state that college students avoid states with restrictions on abortion.
The 19th , a liberal media outlet, reported on research in January that suggested young adults have “left says with nearly-total abortion prohibitions” by the “tens of thousands.”
According to The 19th, the statement from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the state with nearly total abortion bans — 13 at the time of the study — appear to have lost 36, 000 people per third since the fall of Roe v. Wade, according to The 19th.
Some academics also predicted a wave of pro-life claims after the Supreme Court overturned Roe  and began allowing states to rescind the restrictions.
The innovative data, in addition to a number of other assessments by The College Fix, show that there is little evidence to back up their assertions.
In January, an OB/GYN with the Charlotte Lozier Institute, a pro-life advocate, claimed that medical students aren’t affected by abortion regulations sometimes.
There is no proof that pro-life regulations are affecting the value or number of applicants for maternal citizenship, according to Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice chairman and director of clinical affairs at the think tank, who spoke to The Fix.
According to Skop,” the information continues to show that pro-life says are receiving much more applications for perinatal residencies than they have spots available.”
Less: There is still no evidence that Indiana’s pro-life law affected “quality of applicants” for OB/GYN residency.
