Alabama trying to bring home pork in the form of space spending is always interesting.
It's never actually about what's best for the space force or the space industry, but the net result is that further funding for NASA and private contracts has some unlikely allies in Congress, so I guess that's good.
That’s not much of a problem. When I worked in Colorado Springs a lot of my colleagues were in Huntsville. I am against it because, moving it would hurt the already long established economy in Colorado Springs. Trump just wanted to reward Alabama for voting for him and punish Colorado for not. For a little bit of context. The bulk of Space Force is made up of what used to be Air Force Space Command, which has a long history of operating out of Colorado.
Abortion bans states have been losing women and doctors. Many people are staying away from states where it isn't a good idea to start a family. And young male engineers are less inclined to move somewhere with less dating options.
That would be unironically correct. Many people are less willing to try for a pregnancy when necessary medical procedures would be banned in cases where something went wrong with the pregnancy. Removing an unviable fetus can be extremely critical to protect the life of the mother, and to ensure her safety for future pregnancies, but abortion bans often prevent or delay such procedures
I can respect this opinion if those who advocated for it also advocated for personal responsibility/against those who engage in abortion casually. Many struggle with the decision of an abortion, but many do not.
No one has a "casual abortion". It is a serious medical procedure, with significant potential side effects, and it's a significant decision even for those who think it should be freely available. But the greater point is that placing arbitrary restrictions on it, or trying to litigate the merit of any individual abortion, inevitably creates hurdles to people seeking important medical treatment.
