Whalen told authorities there was no local clinic available to perform an abortion and her daughter did not have health insurance to cover a hospital abortion, the Press Enterprise newspaper of Bloomsburg reported.
For this crime, the mother has been sentenced to 12-18 months in jail.
Two points. First the most obvious, women are going to seek out and obtain abortions legal or otherwise. It was true before Roe, going all the way back to Biblical times, and it will be true even if you manage to completely overturn Roe. Second, the reporter presents a boyfriend tricking his girlfriend into taking an abortifacient as somehow equivalent to a mother following her daughter's choice. Psst, they are not.
