also, the requirements for an abortion:

There's three clinics total in the entire state and quite a number of hurdles. Including one that a patient must wait 24 hours after a consultation to have the procedure performed. If a patient has to travel to the clinic, and odds are she did, that's at minimum two days but maximally four. Then there's the cost, 2-3 nights at a hotel, plus abortions can't be paid by insurance - they're now looking at several hundred dollars of out of pocket cost in a state like Nebraska. If this young woman waited to tell her mother until she was showing (or didn't know until she was showing - which at 23 weeks, and a few weeks prior, she would be) then I can see this putting them in a weird place.
My point here isn't to reason about the things that happened after the abortion, but rather to say I think the more arbitrary hurdles that are introduced the more zany the outcomes will be.
