Doesn't seem like the 'states' approach would fix anything. Travel expenses alone would make it cost prohibitive for many to have abortions elsewhere. I also suspect that insurers would cease covering abortion-related expenses except in states that mandate it. For example, if abortion was illegal in Colorado, a woman from that state would be unlikely to have the disposable funds or insurance to arrange for an abortion in California.
In a perfect world, there would be no abortion. I'll settle for the greatest reduction a.s.a.p. and work on that 100% later.

I totally agree with your analysis. The first thing it would do is it would end the federal "right" to an abortion and all the ramifications that go with it. This would be a wonderful "first step".

Oops, hadn't gotten to your post. You're right I think about the cost and insurance. Serial abortions would be cut down dramatically.
Some women have had as many as 12 abortions.
