FTA:

One of the criticisms I’ve gotten in the last couple of days is, I can’t believe you’re leaving all these poor kids behind while you’re going off to a place that already has a lot of medical professionals. What I’ll say to that is, I came here and I came back here after a fellowship to dedicate my career to Louisiana. And Louisiana pushed me out.

[Emphasis mine.]

"Think of the kids!" They scream as they actively support legislation that will (and almost certainly has) lead to the suicide of many young Louisianans

They want them dead. That's literally their goal.

Trust me, I'm well aware that there will be an outright genocide if they get their way

"they market these bills as bills to save children. Now, I actually save children and I know what it means to save a child. I know what it means to support a child and support our own children. None of these bills have anything to do with saving children"

He is… thinking about his kids.

The brain drain continues.

They will end up suing blue states for stealing all their health care and education professionals. Before you say that's far fetched, remember, the republican party is all about blaming others for their failures. They sue California for having too high emissions standards so suing because educated people prefer to live in a better state with better pay is a liberal conspiracy to undermine "freedom."

Louisiana hurt itself in its confusion.
