I’m guessing these will fall on 14th amendment grounds.
Traveling to another state to access services that are illegal in your state is a privilege of US citizens.
I’m pretty sure it’s in the main body of the Constitution somewhere that all citizens may travel freely between and among the several States. Don’t even need to get to the BoR.

There’s a Supreme Court ruling that the right to travel may not be deprived without due process of law, so it’s considered part of the 5th amendment.
Yeah, I think so. They probably know it’s not enforceable, but are hoping ignorance wins the day and fearful people will follow their laws. It’s terrible.
I think it’s to appease their ignorant base and get through the next primary. And for a bonus they can complain about the radical liberal courts overturning their good and moral laws.
