This procedure is already banned in the US, despite the fact that it was pioneered in New York.

  Couldn't patients have the procedure performed elsewhere as medical tourists? I don't see a viable way to prevent it.

    Yes, that’s my understanding as well. Those who can afford it, can travel to a different country and try. But I assume it’s so expensive that only a select few can go through this process.

      Some states have tried to make it illegal to travel to another state to have a banned procedure such as an elective abortion. I don't know how that has held up in court in practice.

        The US constitution protects rights to interstate travel, but I'm not sure what the courts will do.
