If people don't like the laws in their states (any laws, not just abortion laws) they are free to move to a state where they find the laws more agreeable or campaign for new state lawmakers whose policies they find more in line with their beliefs. It really is that simple. If people make excuses for not moving or trying to affect change within their own state law systems that's their problem and none of my concern.
I noticed that in KY and TN, and perhaps soon WV, abortion is illegal now or else heavily regulated - I'm not sure which. In VA, it is not, nor has it ever been. So what I expect to see is a massive influx of panicky teenagers from those areas who never learned to keep their knees together (parents fault, I'm guessing) into VA to take advantage of the lack of abortion laws here. Because of that circumstance, I have no doubt that congress will soon make a reaching attempt to legalize abortion nationwide under the "interstate commerce clause" like they did with civil rights and are still trying to do to infringe the Second Amendment.
Nah, it ain't over, not by longshot. This ruling just allows the debate to begin.
I think at this point that Buchanan County, VA, would be a great place for ballard Healthcare to set up an abortion mill so they can rake in the bucks, because Buchanan County borders both KY and WV. Lee County would be another good choice for another mill, because it borders both KY and TN. This could be turned into a financial boon for alert healthcare companies, if they can get set up before Planned Parenthood moves in to those places. maybe even if PP does move in. Folks around here are not big on eugenics or black genocide, the very foundations of Planned Parenthood, so any PP facilities set up around here might not last long. Ballard health, on the other hand, has the respect of a lot of folks around here, so they already have their foot in the door, if they just strike while the iron is hot.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
