Perhaps. But that misses the point- states can only take actions allowed by the Constitution. Banning travel is not such a power.
BTW, prostitution isn't exactly a good example when compared to the destruction of an unborn child.
Sure it is. If Roe v. Wade were overturned, some States would ban abortion, and others wouldn't. So, if abortion was legal in Illinois, but illegal in Kansas, Kansas would have no power to prevent its citizens from travelling to Illinois to obtain abortions.
Thanks for the additional comments. I understand your arguement. I still see a state vs an internal nation differently that I see a neighbor state or an international border, on the order of Canada.
If I had just tried to cut the number of abortions conducted in my state, and an indian nation tried to assure my constituents that they would step up and kill those my state wouldn't, I wouldn't be to keen about it.
I don't think this state's officals are going to be much different. I suspect they are going to find a way to convey that to the indian nation in question.
Your arguements are not out of line as they apply to the constituion. I just don't think the indian nation announcement is going to be the end of this.
