"A new paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a nonprofit economic research organization,...found that since the 2022 fall of Roe v. Wade, the states with near-total abortion bans — 13 at the time of the analysis — appear to have lost 36,000 people per quarter. Single-person households, which typically skew younger, were more likely to move out of states with bans."

@bicmay If I lived there as a younger woman, I would, too. Run, as fast as I could. Toxic patriarchy is killing women.
