If she COULD scrape together enough for an abortion, would she actually have been able to get it? Would she know HOW to go about getting it? Etc, etc.

Hell, was she even properly aware of all of her options?

I'm not condoning her actions. Her actions aren't my problem. My problem is with the possible ramifications of this law and what it could mean for MY reproductive rights, as well as those of every other woman in the country.

(not arguing at you, just trying to clarify my position further)

Yeah, I can see it could end up being a witch hunt. I do think there should be some type of consequences for that kind of extreme measure though. How would you handle situations where woman chose to do something like this to terminate later term pregnancy that wouldn't qualify for abortion except for medical conditions?
