That, at its core, is no different than Texas trying to prosecute women who go to another state to get an abortion or if they tried to prosecute someone for going to Colorado to smoke weed or they went to Nevada to get a prostitute.

Actually that last one is very interesting, can some woman from North Carolina sue the Bunny Ranch if her scum bag husband decided to pick up a prostitute on a trip to Vegas?
