I didn't say it doesn't serve as an important public health interest, and if harm was done by not going to a clinic then that'd be a separate issue (mother is left sterile, baby is harmed, donor's organ got lost in the process), but going to the clinic rather than signing an agreement someone probably found on the Internet is pretty easy.. just go to the clinic.
The law recognizes intent in other situations, I think it should here to, not to absolve any responsibility, but to have some sense of proportion.
