How the new abortion law affects Auburn

[AURex 2,011]

Aside from making it a lot more difficult for Auburn students to make their own decisions about their bodies, and aside from the boycott of Alabama products like Mercedes vehicles and chicken, there are consequences that affect the University.

One example -- Auburn conducts Certified Election Registration Administrator (CERA) training and certification. States are already saying they will no longer send their state employees to these trainings.

Is this going to drive Auburn into debt? Of course not. But it is just one of the many consequences of this legislation that have economic consequences for the state. Other effects will be on vacation travel/tourism, recruitment of highly skilled people to the Huntsville and Mobile aerospace and technology industries, markets for Alabama agricultural products, etc.

Of course, those who support such legislation will simply say that the livelihood and economic impact affecting OTHER people is irrelevant if you save an egg. Because the only opinion that counts is their own and the consequences do not affect them.

As far as aviation work taking a hit I likely doubt it. Most of those jobs are contract in those two areas and it's usually single people from out of state making per diem or their family is back home. As long as they're getting their hours most out of state contractors couldn't care less what Montgomery does.

Economic repercussions won't occur until Roe v. Wade is repealed and the Alabama law actually prevails as the law in the state.

Hopefully, the political repercussions will be more immediate as voters internalize or seriously consider what this means to them regarding their personal reproductive freedom vs. government control of same.

While I don't know the results for Alabama, I was reading an article recently that claimed national support for overturning Roe v. Wade was only about 30%. 

This suggests to me that there will be plenty of states that maintain a woman's right to make her own decisions regarding a pregnancy.  IMO, you won't see economic consequences until after states sort themselves out on this.

So we are reducing unborn babies to “eggs “ now? This is so dishonest it’s appalling! Saying things like this totally ends all debate.

The scientific term is "ovum" or "egg".  It's not "dishonest".

On the other hand, "unborn babies" is obviously a non-scientific rhetorical device meant to beg the question.

Am I wrong Nola?

An egg doesn't even have the potential to become a baby until it's fertilized.  Then it becomes a "zygote cell".

Is this a roundabout way of calling all women murderers for having a menstrual cycle?

Are you saying that the scientific term for something that is terminated in an abortion is an "ovum" or an "egg"?

If that was the stage at which it was terminated, yes.

Actually, that would be a logical argument the people supporting these laws could make.

So then you are saying that the embryo is still an egg?

No, an embryo is an embryo.

My statements on the scientific terms for the various stages of human development were straight forward.  I am sure you are smart enough to get it, so stop acting like you are confused.

You are obviously trying to employ some sort of logical gambit so please cut to the chase and stop wasting our time.
