But you're comment of "she pretty much has to abort the baby" is brutal.

I think there are circumstances, both emotional and physical, where it is almost a psychological necessity. Like you, I prefer for there to be a complete lack of outside coercion on an individual's decision. Instead of the state, I would hope that human individuals would be will to pursue self-interested means to the end of producing altruistic communities that support pregnant women and their eventual offspring.
I don't think it's utopian and I don't think the state needs to be involved. There is also a lot of hypocrisy involving state intervention in the the abortion debate. Such as, why are they funding abortions but not subsidising condoms, birth control, and better sexual education programs in schools? At this point, it's clearly an issue of identity politics fueled by the ideology of radical feminism. We are so far from reaching good discussion on this issue because if the poison injected into it.
