Most Adults Value Reproductive Rights When Deciding Where to Go to College

A new poll shows that incoming and current college students are thinking about whether their school is in a state with reproductive rights and available health care. 

Among adults in the United States ages 18 to 59 who are not enrolled in a college and do not have a degree, 60% said reproductive health laws are at least somewhat important to their decision about whether to enroll in a particular college or university.

The survey results may foreshadow a particular problem for states that are hostile to reproductive rights. The data show that students may be more likely to consider leaving their state for college or ruling out going to school in a state that otherwise would have been a contender.
