The country of free speech, everyone!

You are free to say whatever you like, as long as your words do not contradict Official Party Ideology.

And a right to bear arms, until you need MANPADs to fight the feds.

The courts haven't ruled on that yet but interstate commerce clause is pretty explicit about this kind of thing. A state can't criminalize someone going to another state to do something as that is something reserved to the federal government.

So no, there is no restriction on going to another state to get an abortion.

several states are trying to change that. laws are being proposed to ban travel, and although they are being challenged, as you said, the last word on this is not spoken yet.

and even if legal, people having an out-of-state abortion are being sued. that alone is a big restriction, because what good is a right if you don't have the means to defend yourself when that right is being challenged.
