@bich This sort of thing can also cause people to avoid prenatal-or any other-medical care entirely. Someone who runs into a rare but not unheard of medical emergency after a self-managed abortion and who fears prison more than death may very well decide that "whatever happens happens" and not seek medical aid no matter what the consequences.
