And how that relates to this story is quite beyond me.

I was referring to LT suggesting that we shouldn't "question the democractic decision of the people" when there are stark historic examples of the democratic decisions of the people having shocking outcomes, and using the fact that the Nazis were democratically voted into power in Germany as the most obvious example of why it's perfectly valid to question a democratic vote as being likely to have good outcomes, and that often it's not possible to see the true endgame until the votes have already been counted.
With regards to out-of-state abortions... there are mechanisms that could be used to make that illegal too, and regardless, the practicalities and costs of doing so mean that it's only an option for those who can afford it - when the majority of people seeking abortions are likely to be young, economically disadvantaged, or both... i.e. the very people who have neither the funds nor the practical means to travel out-of-state.
