1. between puberty & menopause?

I wonder what the little girl child molestation rate is in those states/

[Chorophyll]

8. Yeah. I wouldn't move to any of those states AFTER menopause, either.

Shitty states for women = shitty states for older women too.

2. Minnesota was the only surprise on the list, but I guess that can

happen when the Repukes control the entire legislature.

7. Yeah, that was a bit of a surprise. n/t

13. That article is playing loose with facts. It talks about how "laws were passed," but the laws it's

talking about will be vetoed by the governor. What's going on in our capitol now is political posturing, not actual governing, and much of it will be vetoed.

10. mmm sounds temping..

I Love Lobster, but.. not enough to want to trudge six miles (no car) in the snow. Many Asians there? I would miss Japantown, too much, but thanks for the suggestion!

[virgogal]

14. Plenty of Asians,my daughter in law is Asian. More Chinese and Koreans

than Japanese,though.

4. A lot of this really seems to have been flying under the radar

The repugs assault on woman has increased to a frightening state.

5. Woohoo! Kansas!!

6. To me, every state is a bad one in a country that tolerates these misogynist laws.

11. most of these states did not surprise me at all.

I was however surprised by Minnesota. I thought that Minnesota was a progressive state with senators like Humphrey, Mondale, McCarthy, Wellstone etc.

12. Minnesota surprised me.

I thought my state of Missouri would be on there for sure.

15. Like others, I'm surprised by Minnesota -- might have expected Utah
