Some high school students said the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion is playing a role in their own big decision — where they’ll go to college.
Ella Reese and her friend Samantha Kager live near Ithaca, where they’re both going into the 11th grade. At a rally on Friday protesting the decision overturning Roe v Wade, they said abortion access has become a factor in their plans after graduation.
Reese said she’s now more likely to stay in New York after high school.
Kager agreed.
“[The ruling], especially, is making me not want to go far away from here,” Kager said. “Especially if I can’t have free choice of what I want to do with my own body.”
