That's a valid point, but there's a big difference between making your patient aware of the potential side effects or risks of a particular treatment and scaring or shaming them out of said treatment - which is, as far as I can tell, what the warning mandated by this statute is meant to do.

Bazelon also notes that the probability of post-abortion risks like suicidal impulses are exaggerated by implication in this warning. That's a sign that the warning isn't a disclaimer - it's a scare tactic.
