You're missing the point.
No I'm not.
Whatever cost presently paid is still a lot less than having to pay for transportation, lodging, etc. and missing work at a lower-wage job to travel if you're in a state/region where the political geography dictates traveling several hours to theoretically have a procedure.
At best this is significant conjecture on your part, and at worst is straight up false. The typical abortion runs about $800-1000. Looking at the map of the trigger law states, every one of them is no more than 500 miles from a state where abortion would be available. That's about $200 in gas round trip and around $100 (or less) for a night in a hotel. At $15/hr wage, (assuming no PTO, which an increasing number of companies say they would provide) that's another $200 in take home pay. So, an additional $500 in cost at most. So no, it's not "a lot less than having to pay transportation/lodging/wages." Basically it's a few hundred extra dollars on top of the $800-1000 that they were already prepared to spend.
The cost relative to their personal means just increased dramatically.
See above. Yes it would increase, but "dramatically" is likely a good sized helping of hyperbole.
I'm no fan of abortion, but one big problem I have with where this is heading is it will by default create unequal accessibility based upon socioeconomics, with the net result being more children born into impoverishment, a growing burden on the welfare state, and even more entrapment in the poverty/welfare generational cycle.
I'm sure that will happen to a degree, and for sure the states that ban will have to reconcile how they will manage that. That said, it's clearly not going to end up being some kind of national crisis. And I say that as someone who is about as pro abortion as they come.
