@Blort @georgetakei Or requiring all drivers to stop at checkpoints, present their papers, and reasons for traveling out of state. Reasons which would have to be registered with the state in a beurocracy that would, by comparison, make the DMV seem easy to navigate.
@TechyDad @Blort @georgetakei I can imagine mandatory pregnancy tests at state border checkpoints and just a general prohibition of traveling out of state for pregnant women in the theocratic states
@lanzz and if you add in all the "constitutional sheriffs" operating in these states, it's a recipe for terrorizing women of reproductive age driving to anything but a church service.
