I'd imagine you don't voluntarily get on this registry. It's not a gift registry
well what happens if you don’t register
It's not designed to have women register themselves. What self-respecting woman would voluntarily report that they might get an abortion, in a state that is openly hostile to that?
Nope, the reporting would be done by nosy health care providers (and perhaps even neighbors, like in TX). Are you a woman of child-bearing age who has to go out of state unexpectedly? Someone might add you to this list. You know, just in case.
Well if the votership has anything to do with it: something around 30 to 40% would happily volunteer that information.
They would volunteer that info on their neighbors, but not themselves. Why? Because the only moral abortions are their own.
Speculation: Probably it'll be mandatory by providers if you attend prenatal care. So it will result in some women avoiding prenatal care putting themselves and their unborn at risk.
