Alabama has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the US, and they provide an exception for rape or if the woman's health is at risk. while most insurance don't cover abortion, both the pill and the procedure is typically under $1k (depending on which county you go to, there are local funds for abortions if they meet criteria like low income). if Polissa needed an abortion and it was the product of rape, then even in AL it would be available to her at a clinic for reduced cost.
prior to 2019, the rapist did not have termination of parental rights, which was the crux of the matter regarding abortion for rape then, even though the exception existed, it would have to go to trial where those rights were legally terminated. after 2019, conviction of rape automatically terminated parental rights.
