All the educated affluent and middle-class will move (along with the whole tax base) out of the backward states. All that will be left are the poor and the right-wing ignorant population, and since the latter largely creates the former, there will always be more poor people than affluent wingnuts. In the short term, those states will lose tax base and industry (which will need the educated folk to even operate). In the long-term, they will face a social uprising unlike any they've seen before. These Christian tyrannies are stocked with idiots (stoked on by Limbaugh and his ilk) too ignorant to see the moderating base and affluence of the progressives actually support and sustain their cultures. The US south particularly will ultimately lose its culture.

The only reason only half of me says it is that simple compassion would necessitate some kind of underground railroad of the poor to abortion clinics in free states. And that is part of what will trigger a civil war ... which is the aristocracy's whole plan in the first place, imho.
