If the situation is reversed, and the boyfriend wants the baby but the woman doesn't, the boyfriend (would-be father) has the option of not driving his girlfriend to the abortion clinic. So much for the equality of male/female parenthood.

You're correct in that a currently legal act cannot be a felony of course. At least not at the same level of law. Federally legal may or may not have a bearing on the State, County or Local definitions. The law is peculiar that way. You can try a guy for murder (like O.J), find him innocent of the murder, but yet win a wrongful death civil lawsuit for the same set of events you found him innocent of criminally.
