The option would exist in the first half or so of the pregnancy, which is when the vast majority of abortions and miscarriages are performed. So for 95%+ of women, it would be the same as full abortion legalization.

So the only time "back alley" abortions would exist is after the fist 20 weeks and if there's no medical necessity. That's a pretty small edge case.
