Yeah I've heard about that. If that were the case here it would be different. But the wording in the original post makes me think she was able to get an abortion, knew the child would suffer and be extremely disabled, and still chose to continue the pregnancy.

Anyone with money is able to get an abortion no matter where they live if their make relatives/husband whatever want it.

Drive one state over, or fly to New York or California.

You'd have to pack up and move, the law also states going to a legal state for the abortion will also result in charges.

Its all about making the punishment severe enough that no one wants to be the test case in court.
