I read the article at a glance, to be fair. Iirc the pair live in one of the many states where abortion itself is now criminalised, so there was no way to deal with this “without a fuss”.
The godawful changes with Roe v Wade happened after this incident, and you can't be charged with breaking a law by actions taken before the law was in effect/changed. So at the time, they still could have done the abortion legally.
Huh, weird fuckin situation then.
