They won't have to leave the USA to get abortions. If SCOTUS goes ahead and strikes down the Roe vs Wade decision, it will revert back to the states. Then, if you are a resident of a blue state like New York, California or Illinois (for example), the educated, sober predictions indicate that you will have the same or more access to abortion. For states like Texas, Florida or Georgia, I suspect that the bare minimum of access (rape, incest, danger to the life of the mother) will remain? There will of course be states that swing more or less to one side or the other on this of course.

@Human1000 - they may be moving towards this but until SCOTUS (first) makes their final ruling (at least 6 months to a year away), and the states make their say known (a year or three down the road from that), and the final word via their state Supreme Court's decision on that in turn happens (a year or two from that even), I would say that rising food & gas prices, the perverse WOKE ideology and reduced personal liberties are a MUCH bigger concern for every American.

@Human1000 genuinely sharp of you to notice the trigger laws in some states, however some states on both sides are doing this not as a direct response necessarily to the moves from SCOTUS insomuch as due to the very long, entrenched war going on for many decades over abortion. Both sides have long since had contingency plans, at least many have, in this case. The states can move forward with trigger laws but they cannot act fully on them until SCOTUS has their final say.
