Okay, dumb question: What would prevent the woman from simply hopping one state over and getting the procedure done there?

Generally, I believe, states have other law such that make it illegal to go to another state with the intention of doing something that is illegal in your home state.

The situation all around fucked up then. I was hoping that at the very least there was a pragmatic solution until the legislation was revoked. Something like how Irishwomen travel to Britain for the procedure :|

Does this also extend to going overseas? I would imagine that if it were posited as a human rights or corruption regulation it would, but IDK if that is the case.
