In a majority of cases, she is right. Doesn't change the fact that the fetus is a living human being that the state has a vested interest in protecting.

Even if that is true (and I don't agree that it is), "vested interests" of the state don't necessarily override individual rights and freedoms.  The state has a "vested interest" in reducing serious crime. That doesn't give it the right to tell defendants that they can't have lawyers since defense attorneys stand in the way of the state's efforts to reduce crime by making it harder for prosecutors to convict.

The very expression "pregnancy scare" implies that if the woman turns out to be pregnant, there are no good options.  If she was thinking "Oh, if I really am pregnant, I'll just get an abortion, no problem," there wouldn't be any reason to be "scared" to being with.  She may well HAVE decided that she'll get an abortion if that happens, but that's because she sees abortion as the least bad option, not something that would be good or enjoyable.
