So yes, restrain, but the protocol for dealing with such situation should also require care. Mental health care and counseling, as well as any help she needs during the pregnancy.
As to the last part, I believe I addressed that in detail on my first post here.
How many people find it easy to get a job after being "restrained" due to the threat of hurting another?
Can you see that such a view would only result in an increase of single unemployed mothers? What could go wrong?!
That's a good point. Part of the protocol should be that this couldn't be held against her for future jobs, etc.

Are you stating that any woman that wants an abortion is mentally ill?
No. Just that she would probably need some emotional support in helping her deal with an unplanned/difficult pregnancy. Seeing a therapist is always a good thing while dealing with something difficult in life. Doesnt mean the person has to be mentally ill to see one.

Would you restrain a mother that said she was going to kill her 1 year old baby? Why is that scary?
And also, illegal abortions done by self or others is not only dangerous to the baby, but to the mother as well. The restraint would be just as much for her safety as for her child's.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
