Reddit has some strange pictures in every subreddit but those 28 are among the strangest.
But I think the students afraid to go to college in red states because of their abortion bans is stupid hype.
There is plenty more things to worry about besides needing an abortion at school.

Ooohhh, scary: now that states decide legality of abortion, kids are afraid? You mean they have to take personal responsibility? The horrors!

Think it is silly for college students to fear going to schools in red states? Try this then, instead of abortion pretend those schools are going to mandate masks and vaccinations ... that help? Or how about this, Muslims fast during daylight hours during the month of Rahmadan so should they get a law passed that all food service places must close during the day? It is about body autonomy. It is about keeping religion out of public policy.

Anon, I understand that and the damage the SCOUS has done, but the not wanting to go to college in a red state because they can't get an abortion there makes the problem look silly. The result is the video will be written off as whining spoiled brats who don't appreciate that they can actually go to a college in another state. It makes light of a serious situation for a whole lot of people in this country. People making videos protesting this fascism imposed suffering should not use frivolous examples.
