“The temporary restraining order granted by the Travis County district judge purporting to allow an abortion to proceed will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas’ abortion laws,” Paxton said in a statement shortly after the judge’s decision. “This includes first degree felony prosecutions…and civil penalties of not less than $100,000 for each violation.
Paxton added, ominously: “The [judge’s temporary restraining order] will expire long before the statute of limitations for violating Texas’ abortion laws expires.”
Doctors aren’t exactly poor. It’s probably easier for them to relocate than other middle class or rather upper middle class people.

I think you’re overlooking the fact that most people have families and friends that they cannot easily abandon, which was my thinking in my post.
yeah i hate that. “Just move thousands of miles away bro, it’s easy!”
