Not to downplay the immediate impact to local Texans, but there is definitely part of me that looks at the past decade plus of partial bans, temporary bans, ridiculous rules, injunctions, lawsuits, and executive orders used to both limit abortions and fire up right wing nutjob voters - and wants to just say fuck it, let Texas be a no-abortion state. Let some other broke-ass red states join them if they want. For a while folks will suffer the drive to a state with reasonable access to legal women's care, and eventually they will move to those states for a host of other reasons.
Luckily Texas is surrounded by states with reasonable views on abortion.
