The idea is attractive for ppl in blue states. Not so much for marginalized ppl in red states. I'd say there's about a 75% chance of ppl with uteri in red states losing their reproductive rights in the next 2 yrs. Imagine if they have to cross a national border for an abortion.

Due to TRAP legislation, a lot of these states have so few abortion providers it is defacto banned for anyone without the means to travel hundreds of miles.
