They’re not going to do any of this, because it would too severely impact rich people.

How would that impact them at all? They fly when they want to leave Texas.

Antiabortion advocates behind the measure are targeting regions along interstates and in areas with airports, with the goal of blocking off the main arteries out of Texas and keeping pregnant women hemmed within the confines of their antiabortion state.

A number of major airports are located in these majority conservative counties.
