There was a case here that hasn't been publicized enough about how these policies not only put "baby" before mother but CORPSE before mother. A woman's baby died in utero and she had to visit something like four hospitals before one of them would do the theraputic abortion to get it out of her as it rotted and turned septic.
Once upon a time, even Catholic hospitals didn't get upset about performing abortions in that case. But not now, noooooo....
pregnant women would still be denied the right to travel outside the republic
And because non-pregnant woman can presumably go where they please when they please, it's a lovely way to criminalize the state of pregnancy.
