So if abortion decisions move to the states, how will business respond? We've already seen a few businesses commit to paying for travel expenses for abortions, but I don't want to read too much into that writ large.

Polls say the majority (70% I think?) of Americans are pro-choice. Businesses want customers, and want to avoid actions to will piss off said customers. I'm not trying to pretend large companies will do anything out of the kindness of their heart, but if the dollars for them are in favor of states that are pro-choice and in favor of states enacting pro-choice laws, could that be advantageous? There is no electoral college when it comes to money, so it doesn't really matter where that 70% is located, 70% is still greater than 30%. Actually, I take that back, that 70% is likely located in blue coastal areas where the average consumer has higher incomes and more money to spend than elsewhere, so it actually magnifies the point.

It is also worth considering how it will affect companies moving. Companies that might have tried to move from a blue to a red state to save a few dollars might now get much stronger pushback from their likely-more-liberal workforce about suddenly placing the health choices of the female employees and female family members in danger. Could the ability to attract these jobs and companies affect state decisions going forward?

So basically, Democrats are fully reduced to being the party of corporatism after aiding and abetting them for decades. Great.

I think you’ll see companies offer to help employees go to another state to get an abortion and not much more. Too much uncertainty to make major decisions like moving operations.

I don't know any of that requires an extra level of being beholden to them. It would not be done as any sort of deal, or for that manner out of any righteous motive on the part of business. It would merely be that the aggregate demand from the pubic at large would necessitate for business to have the same goal on this one issue.

This is of course assuming people make their voices heard and possibly follow though, which is by no means a given, so I understand this is a bit pie-in-the-sky.
