@wayofthepromise I woke up to this news this morning. I still feel like it hasn't fully sunk in. I live in Massachusetts. Abortion is and I am confident will remain legal here. I am fairly sure it would even be covered by insurance and either my ob/gyn or another doctor in her office could...

@moses199 I'm personally skeptical that any of this out of state BS is actually enforceable (the same way that even though fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts, the state can't stop residents from buying them in New Hampshire--states don't have jurisdiction outside of their territory).

@praiseyahweh4ever Would definitely consider it but am afraid the professional barriers are too high. I still have more than $50k in student loans and the combo of needing to pay those, plus US taxes and UK taxes if we relocated means I'd need to make a high salary. The last time I checked I'd...

@ladyghosthunter Yeah, also an attorney and I don't think it makes any sense for you to take on $250k of debt to have a backup plan and interests outside being a mother. You can have those things without being a lawyer. If you take on that much debt you may be essentially trapped into a job you...

@anonymous778 My state has partially paid parental leave and medical leave (with job protection) which is so much better than the previous state FMLA equivalent "8 weeks unpaid we can't fire you" that is all I would have qualified for (small company--FMLA doesn't apply). I am still worried about...
