If a woman who lived in Texas wanted an abortion, would it be illegal for her to move to a different state, establish residency and then get her abortion?
Not the point. No, simply traveling to another state is not illegal. But with the vigilante law, in the incubator of one state's laws where any citizen who catches wind that you are seeking an abortion, or find out someone is about to help you leave the state, they can be arrested and sued if they don't make it out of the state and get discovered.
The other thing is, and again, economics. Even if someone has family or friends in another state, they don't always have the financial means to leave. No different in pre WW2 history during the rise of Hitler. It wasn't just Jews that had to worry. It was the threat of invasion were other countries citizens saw the writing on the wall, but could not escape in time once the dominos started to fall.
