I think this is one big fat sack of NO.

Details that will be posted online include:
1) Date of abortion
2) County in which abortion is performed
3) Age of mother
4) Marital status of mother
5) Race of mother
6) Years of education of mother
7) State or foreign country of residence of mother
8) Total number of previous pregnancies of the mother

There will be no names involved online. But if you have that much (that's just a sample, I'm sure there will be more questions), you could pretty much figure out exactly who did what if you're in a small town. I don't see how this is going to help with anything, this is just a scare tactic to lower the abortion rates. But if you have to suffer from the possible consequences of someone figuring it out (if you were planning to keep it a secret) by doing things legally, wouldn't you be more likely to go to some hack doctor who wouldn't report it?
