It also prescribes prison sentences for women who go out of state seeking an abortion.
How long, d'you think, before they try to make it a crime for any women to move out of the state ... because they might choose to have an abortion sometime in the future? "Uppity wimmenfolk gotta be controlled so they cain't never have no abortions!"

"Oh, my people had many gods. There was Conformity, and Authority, and Expense Account, and Opinion. And there was Status, whose symbols were many, and who rode in the great chariot Cadillac, which was almost a god itself. And there was Atombomb, the dread destroyer, who would some day come to end the world." — Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, H. Beam Piper
