The stupid thing about this is that the right-wing legislators think they will stop abortions by passing these laws. Unless you also impose (and enforce) a law that makes it illegal to travel outside the state or country, all you have done is put up the price. Those who can afford to travel will have their abortions elsewhere. Look at what went on in Ireland when abortion was illegal there but not in UK.

The effect of these laws is to bear down on the poor, while letting those who pass the laws bathe themselves in smug self-righteousness.
