The way the Texas law as currently written allows for private citizens to snitch and sue on behalf of the state. Texas has not explicitly criminalized abortion but has instead made abortion significant difficult and costly. It's different from the way booze and weed are regulated. Booze is legally regulated in the state where it's sold. So if you buy a beer in Colorado you're consuming it under the standards set by Colorado law. Weed is federally classified as a controlled substance, but the Feds have relaxed prosecution with regards to possession and usage and left it to the states to regulate within their own jurisdictions.
Yes, the original subject was jobs. IANAL, but the Colorado law is a likely a 1st amendment issue in that the state is compelling disclosure of information from private companies. If a lawsuit ever hits a federal court I expect to see the law upended.
