Freedom of movement within the United States is a well established constitutional right. A state cannot stop someone from going to another state for whatever reason. The Constitution explicitly states interstate commerce is the purview of the Federal Government. If Texas can attempt to stop women going outside the state then California can stop people from going to Texas.

I’m not an attorney, but what you’ve written makes sense.

This must mean then that liberal whackos are that less likely to invade Texas and other places to begin with.

Kavanaugh even addressed the issue in his concurring opinion, that there's nothing to prevent women from traveling out of state for an abortion, and it's not even "especially difficult as a constitutional matter" he made a point to stress.

Any state that tries to pass laws preventing women from traveling out of state for abortions will, at the very least, not have Kavanaugh on board, and probably none of the eight other justices.

I think this issue is a little different. People are obviously still free to leave the state of Texas for any reason including to get an abortion. This law involves the issue of whether businesses are within their right to help thwart this Texas law. In a sane world where our President isn’t trying to cripple our economy and country and drag us into WWIII, I would say let companies pay if they want to but we are well past that point. We need secession or at the very minimum an increase in the ascendancy of state’s rights to even survive as a nation.

They can’t stop people from going anywhere however they can take away tax breaks for or impose other hardships on companies that do pay for it.

Illinois is already sort of an abortion destination. The last year the Chicago Tribune had statistics for showed 45,000 total. but that included 9,000 done on people who were not Illinois residents.

And the most abortions happened in 5 of 102 counties: Cook (all Chicago), Will, DuPage and Lake (Chicago suburbs), and St. Clair (Illinois suburbs of St. Louis.)

What else do these counties have in common? Poverty, gun violence, and a basic lack of a 2-party political system.

This is all too beautiful to be true, the hedonists leaving Red states to go back to blue states for legalized child murders.

So many contaminating hedonist citizens (whether they admit they are hedonists or not, their actions show they are) have temporarily delayed their impending economic doom by relocating to red states for their livelihood. Their filthy blue states are becoming what the Left’s society inevitably devolves to - cesspools of debauchery, slavery and totalitarian misery.

They’re not going to relocate to to a cesspool just to kill children in abortions. They’ll work feverishly to turn red states blue because they’re insane with hatred for Christ and moral man.

What if they’re not pregnant. Do they have to get pregnant?

As someone else wrote, this is less about wokeism as it is about a corporation minimizing workforce departures to raise a family.

Forget about barefoot and pregnant...the leftist ideal for a woman is childless, ideally barren, in pumps, behind a desk.

Certainly they can’t stop the movement or criminalize engaging in legal behavior in another state. But they may be able to make these companies financing the move fiscally responsible for any injury or surgical complication to the Texas citizen.

I’m leery of stopping people from going out-of-state for this purpose as well. And if they don’t come back, that’s a bonus!

“Google tells U.S. employees they can relocate to states where abortion is legal...”

On other words, Google says “...move to a state where you can unabashedly screw anything that walks without suffering consequences”.

The ridiculous crap of the left.If they’re so concerned about abortion, you think they would educate the dummies on birth control.

Good. Get them out of here. We need their houses for good Texans. Please don’t move to Texas and vote for people who hate America.

“Google has told its workers in the U.S. that they will be allowed to move to another state without having to justify it following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade which removed the constitutional right to abortion.”

The master has spoken ... all fall down and worship and obey.

Also Gulag ... I mean Google, there is nothing in the Constitution about abortion so go to Hell.

States are sovereign. Pass a law acknowledging life begins at conception, the baby has the right to life, and those aiding and abetting murder will be charged.

Banishment from a sovereign state has not been tested, but if a state is sovereign, then it has the power.

Google HR to employee: How many babies will you be killing in the state you want to move to?
