1. Women will still seek abortions.

2. Women without money will seek abortions that will be performed by people without the skills and/or the facilities to make it a safe procedure.

3. Women who undergo abortion by unqualified practitioners will either die or be severely butchered or rendered severely ill due to the procedure.

4. Even if they manage to survive a "bad" abortion, women will be subject to prosecution, fines, and/or prison. They always risk someone going to the D.A. or the police.
