I live in a place that reflects my values, and I would never choose to do otherwise.
Eventually I do want to move back to Washington, and I totally support their restrictive smoking laws. I wish Oregon would pass more restrictive legislation (beyond no smoking in the workplace). However, the town I live in has exceptionally strict legislation regarding smoking in public places, and I don't think I could live anywhere that didn't.
Abortion-law wise--Washington legalized abortion two years prior to Roe v. Wade, and both Washington and Oregon do not require parental permission for abortions.
We vote overwhelmingly liberal in both states--though Oregon has a Republican senator and a Republican congressman. Personally, I prefer Washington's two female Democrat senators and female Democrat governor. Did I mention they're female?
Anyways--the point is, I already live here, and I ain't leavin'.
