New laws against abortion

(this thread contains hypothetical scenarios that will be very offensive to some readers. Please keep in mind that it is important to consider such possibilities in order to prepare for a future in which abortion laws and pregnancy-control are much different than today)

New laws against abortion are recommending life in prison as punishment for illegal abortion.

But will such laws really be effective at preventing abortions?

Would it be more effective, for example, to prevent abortion by offering abortions to women seeking them and then take them into custody at that time in order to prevent them from achieving clandestine abortion?

Maybe so, but could such an intervention ever be justified within the parameters of liberty? In other words, must women's freedom to seek abortion always be respected even if, for example, she is intercepted in act of seeking/submitting to abortion procedures?

How far can states legally go to prevent abortions and thus protect unborn life?

Could we eventually have a future in which fake abortion clinics are used to catch potential abortion-seekers in the act, which would lead to them being incarcerated and blocked from freely shopping for an abortion?

Maybe 'pregnancy prisons' will be a thing at some point.

This should all lead to the question of what penalties men should face for impregnating women who would put their own lives and freedom at risk to abort a pregnancy. If women are being forced to carry a pregnancy to term against their wishes, what consequences should there be for the father, even if the pregnancy wasn't caused by rape?

Finally, if men are threatened with heavy penalties/imprisonment for impregnating a woman, will this lead to an increase in rape-murders? If so, will it be more difficult to catch rapists who have murdered their victims and, if it is, what more can be done to protect women from rape?
