South Dakota has, as we’re sure you’ve noticed, enacted the most sweeping abortion ban in years with a law that should not withstand Constitutional scrutiny (whether the new farther-right SCOTUS will hold that way is anybody’s guess). This editorial points out the obvious: that in a post-Roe world, states would be free to enact whatever level of abortion regulation they wanted, but with consequences. There are, of course, economic ramifications, and among those is the possibility of a tourist boycott.
It occurs to us, however, that the states most likely to enact sweeping abortion bans are in fact that states we probably don’t spend any money in anyway. We Heathen have never spent any money in South Dakota, and we have no plans to, and that’s got nothing to do with their attempts to lay claim to their citizens’ uterii. Are there any reliably Red States with actual tourist attractions? (We’ll stipulate Texas, but take our word for it that we’re not entirely sure how abortion would be regulated here post-Roe.)
