Once again, who is restricting women's healthcare??

Since when do democrats consider long term effects? You guys usually just screw things up and pretend that things are going great.

If you are referring to MY prediction... it's not a Democrat thing. It's my prediction.

The long term effect of my prediction is not going to show results until after the 2030 Census data is tabulated. I suspect that from now until then migration patterns may actually be imperceptible for awhile. The effects will show up each election where women's issues are on the ballot. I also suppose a declining population in restrictive states may also become apparent.

One would think that the restrictive red states will sooner or later compromise and adopt laws similar to those predominate in the EU. Oddly you are focused on the red states and the 2030 census, States like CA and NY even with the unfettered border crossings to my knowledge are still experiencing a net loss in population as many of your citizens are fleeing those deep blue bastions of insanity.

Triple G

You've attributed a fallacy argument which applies political causation to events that are statistically shown to be because of living costs, climate, job opportunities and taxation. Your argument really falls flat when you note the migration out of FL because of climate and increasing cost of living for retirees on fixed income due to homeowners and car insurance rates climbing. Those are the same reasons we moved from IL to TN - climate and cost of living on a fixed income.

You will get a pretty good indicator of why someone switched states when you ask the person if they are on SS or a state or corp pension? Many pensions do not have auto COLA increases so the fixed is really fixed. SS and some state pensions have the escalator. It's clear that this is a big driver of the decision to be here since many of the new villagers are auto company retirees.
