Whereas Section 2 of Article IV of the Constitution provides for the rights of a citizen of one State who is temporarily visiting another State, the privileges, and immunities of a citizen of the latter State;Whereas the constitutional right to travel from one State to another is embedded in our jurisprudence and affirmed by the Supreme Court in United States v. Guest, 383 U.S. 745, 757 (1996); andWhereas, in Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U.S. 618, (1969), that the right is so important that it is "assertable against private interference as well as governmental action . . . a virtually unconditional, personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all.": Now, therefore, be itThat it is the sense of Congress that no State should enact any law that impedes a woman’s ability to engage in interstate travel generally, or to receive services available in that State that are otherwise unavailable in their own State.
