There are some horror stories coming out of certain US states, mostly surrounding woman's reproductive rights. There are crackdowns on old ways of doing things such as driving your daughter to another state in order to have an abortion. That can now be a very serious felony for all involved. Many people with kids, and many young women, are starting to actively avoid moving to these states.
This is growing problem for military recruiters. Try telling a 17yo highschool girl that if she joins the army at 18 she may be posted to some random state where she may not have access to various forms of reproductive healthcare, where perhaps even contraception may soon be disallowed. Or tell a gay kid that he might be moved to a state where the return of sodomy laws is openly discussed in the legislature. Heck no. Even if the new laws are not as bad as reported, they are a significant factor for many young people.
