Will there be a large corporate out-migration from states that outlaw abortion to states that are pro-choice?
Would Coca-Cola leave Atlanta if Georgia passes a law that women no longer have any autonomy over their own bodies?
What about all the high-tech Texas companies? Would they have the courage to decry state law? Or are they afraid of the Texas version of DeSantis taking things away from them?
Will corporations in anti-choice states have enough spine to do anything?

Personally, I think it’s waaay too early to ‘go there’ and that bringing it up is simply opening a can of worms, just like the leak did. Roe v Wade won’t be overturned, so let sleeping dogs lie. It’s just ONE MORE THING to get all upset about, and it’s premature.
Like Home Depot or Hobby Lobby you mean? I’m sure companies like these are applauding it.
Not exactly. There will be lots of people who go to allowing states for the procedure, but they will probably go back home afterwards.
Doubtful.
I think a lot more loss of rights will have to happen in a state to cause a company to pick up and leave.
Companies that care a lot about it will likely include extra help to secure a safe abortion under their health insurance program.
The states that will make abortion immediately illegal already have that personality. They already are unfriendly regarding getting abortions.
Some companies will be thrilled with the change if it happens.
Most corporate choices are based on money, not politics.
Don’t see that happening. Under the impression businesses can do other things to express opposition on certain political matter without losing a chunk of market share.
No, the sweetheart deals and tax breaks in flyover country are quite good. We have empty land and they need it for their warehouses.
Like Amazon for instance. Although as @JLeslie noted, that company added the $4k healthcare benefit for medical travel, which includes abortion.
