I suppose what you think about Democrat legislators in Texas fleeing to Oklahoma depends on your political orientation. It sure seems undemocratic to me for the minority legislators to keep from losing a vote through non-voting means. The point of a democracy is that the people decide; this isn’t about some fundamental rights of the minority, nor is it about doing what is right the only way possible. This just undermines democracy – if you lose an election but are unwilling to accept those results, you are usurping authority. And it tends to provoke a non-democratic response.
