I doubt most businesses will have a knee-jerk reaction and go through the expense and time to relocate elsewhere. Seems most are either staying silent about it or are planning workarounds. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/...ivisive-arena/
Sure there may be people who leave to go to where they can easily kill their children, maybe just like there were probably those who'd left Dem cities/states that have extremely stiff gun laws. Not every single person will be happy with every single law made by the state or the fed government, it's just the way it is.

Will increased birth rates of people of color, due to lack of abortion clinics, increase the blending of America?
Since most of those who are killed through abortion are black children, no doubt many already know that the black population could very well increase. Why is that a problem with you if the black population increases? Why do those on the left want the black population to decrease in the first place? Eugenics maybe?
No one is taking away women’s rights! Nor was the motivation anywhere near that!
The 14th amendment is the right to privacy, they found it was unconstitutional to be there
All the Supreme Court did, was take another look and found it didn’t belong under the 14th amendment
they found that under the conditions of the 14th amendment, it was baseless and flawed, it should have never been there to begin with
It is now a state level issue based on the voters of each state if it is legal or not
Roe v Wade should have never been there to begin with
Both Democrats’ and Republicans should have seen this and fixed it…no one is taking away women’s rights
An unfaithful wife is supposed to drink a concoction that "makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell."
But what the hell difference does it make if the Bible prescribes abortions or not, our nation is a nation of laws based on a Constitution not the Bible, and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives either the federal or the state government the right to make medical decisions for competent people.

13 states already have, and 13 more are in the process.

A self-aware w/o capacity to feel pain (emotional and physical) = a sci-fi type robot. If the entity can't feel pain, even with intelligence, then it's death can never be painful (even emotionally but physically too) - at least for that person. Others may have a very strong interest in keeping them alive, though.
If they cannot feel emotional pain either, then it cannot matter to them if they live or die. To others, yes, I admit that they do have great (if incomplete) say-so about that person's personhood. But isn't that what pro-choice allowed anyway?
Ahh okay. You not only want born people who feel no physical pain (congenital insensitivity to pain) to be killed, you also want born people who feel no emotional pain (Alexithymia) to be killed as well. All because you believe those people aren't people, and according to you they won't feel it or care if you kill them. wow. there are no words...
I guess many wish SCOTUS would have not ruled the legal way. There is NO constitutional right to abortion period. The Constitution says that all rights not specifically given to the federal government belong to the states. They can't violate the Constitution just because you don't like it. If you don't like it, change it legally.
And . . . there it is. Thomas wrote a concurring opinion that contraception, same sex relationships and same sex marriage should be reconsidered.
As ALL of us who are paying attention, predicted.
Who knows? Maybe interracial marriage will be outlawed and Thomas will have to get a divorce. Sad …
