I'm with you there. They have already Screwed up Detroit. Philly, LA, Portland, SF, Seattle, DC, ST. Louis, Minneapolis, why would any one want them controlling your city or state.
I don't see much impact in migration trends. If someone has the ability to move to a different state, then they most likely have the ability to travel to a different state to have an abortion performed.
People are choosing locations more for political reasons and less for purely economic reasons right now. One can relocate in the same state or move to a politically equivalent state. E.g. a die-hard Democrat from California is more likely to end up in Nevada or Colorado than Texas, while the disaffected California Republican would move to Texas or Florida first.
Generalizing what I believe is a change in the trend here based on observation, so don't bother pulling out graphs or whatever, if you're inclined to do that sort of thing. I won't care. Just fyi.
I lived in Las Vegas/Sinless city for 22 years, a city that's always been conservative, run by DINO's, and with the conservative Californians that have moved there, quite the opposite, it's made Las Vegas even more stinkingly conservative, which is why I left there 4 years ago, for the Blue Island of the SW, Tucson.
Over the 22 years there, oh Lord, just the hint of raising taxes, they scream and howl, except, if it's for more police protection. They wouldn't even fund a light rail line. And not even an Art Museum in that city, last big city to have one.
And then there's abortion pills you can buy online. And a flight to San Diego and a light rail train to Tijuana.
I thought liberal utopias paid for everyone!!! Anyone who is planning to have an abortion, and I guess millions of women are planning to get abortions, can move to NYC.
Has the NYC mayor welcomed them yet like he did the LGBTQ? Offering a free abortion with residency?
An idea to bring in some tourist economy vs "forced mask wearing". Stay the weekend and an abortion is free. You still must wear a mask.

Force? No one forces a person to choose termination of a pregnancy but what the existing law does allow is that a "choice" is available to those who want it.
The only forcing I see is the draconian measures being applied to this "choice" with the potential to be completely removed if the RvW is overturned. Some states are going as far as proposing charges of murder if someone chooses termination.
No one. Citizens will either like their states rules, or move to a state they like. W/O anyone stopping them from moving.
