Everyone is acting like this banned abortion, which it didn't. It is up to the state you live in. If you don't like the state's laws, then move. If you don't want to move, then when you get pregnant, go to a state where it is legal. American's cannot be inconvenienced. These 1st world problems are terrible.

That's the whole problem though, many Americans can't afford to move or even travel to another state for an abortion. And there's nothing stopping states from criminalizing traveling out of state for an abortion.

  Actually two things stop states from doing that: right to travel and dormant commerce clause

A 2020 study showed that nearly 70% of Americans have less than $1,000 stashed away in their bank accounts. 40% have less than $300. How are these people supposed to afford to take time off work, drive to another state, have an invasive medical procedure performed, and then drive back home and potentially miss another day of work for recovery? If they have difficulty doing that, imagine how much more difficult it'd be to literally move to another state, lose all your friends and family connections, displace your kids from their school and friends, lose your support network, and have to find new employment? All for the sake of something that should be a protected right. Your perspective is really lacking compassion.

> go to a state where it is legal. Except there are laws that allow one state to prosecute abortions in another. And SCOTUS will absolutely uphold these laws. They've already upheld the right for private citizens to sue people that they believe have had one.

  There are no laws prosecuting abortions done out of state. It’s possible some will be passed but I also think they are a) impossible to enforce and b) won’t be upheld by SCOTUS because they violate the dormant commerce clause.

  This isn't true, and it is also unconstitutional. You cannot be held liable for an action you perform in one state, where it is legal, for a crime in another state. Just make stuff up why don't you.
