问题    By the end of the week, women in Missouri may live in a state without a single abortion clinic. While restrictive laws in states like Alabama have made headlines, Missouri shows the other side of the anti-abortion strategy: steadily shave away at abortion rights. 【T1】You don’t need to outlaw the procedure outright if you can make getting a safe, legal one nearly impossible.
   The reason there’ s only one remaining clinic in Missouri in the first place is because the state has tried to regulate abortion out of existence. A series of unnecessary rules and regulations makes it harder both for women to access abortions and for medical professionals to provide them. 【T2】Mis-souri’s misogynistic laws already don’t trust women to make their own decisions—they mandate that any woman seeking an abortion in the state has to come to a clinic, request the procedure, and then go home and think about it for three days before it can be legally proffered. They also require that young people under the age of 18 notify both parents and get the notarized consent of at least one parent before they can terminate a pregnancy—a serious hardship for girls who live with abuse, or who don’ t have a good relationship with their parents, or who don’ t want to be mothers but want to keep their medical decisions private.
   【T3】Physicians in Missouri who provide abortions have to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 15 minutes of a clinic, an absurd requirement for a medical procedure that is incredibly safe. Admitting privileges create an unnecessary barrier to care—clinics that aren’t within 15 minutes of a hospital, for example, simply cannot exist in Missouri, which means even less service for already-underserved communities. It’s rare that patients have to be admitted to hospitals after an abortion; 【T4】it’ s more common that a hospital referral will come because a doctor discovers an ectopic pregnancy or another condition that requires additional treatment, for which admitting privileges make little difference. One study on admitting privileges for physicians at abortion clinics found that they made no difference for patients receiving care. But they do make it harder for doctors to offer that care.
   If Missouri’ s last clinic closes, women will have to travel out of state to end their pregnancies. But that, too, creates significant hardships. That kind of travel costs money. It requires owning a car. Depending on how far women go, it may necessitate a hotel room. It requires taking time off of work. 【T5】It makes abortion particularly inaccessible for poor women, for women who are already raising children on their own, and for women in vulnerable situations, like abusive relationships. These laws won’ t end abortion. They will just make it harder, more painful, and more expensive.
【T1】
选项
答案如果你能让一个安全、合法的程序变得几乎行不通，你就不需要完全禁止这个程序。
解析 本句是一个复合句。句中包含if引导的条件状语从句，代词one指代前面出现过的单数可数名词procedure，翻译时要译出来。outlaw可能是考生的翻译难点，若不知道这个单词的含义，可根据单词构成来推测，out可意为“远离，缺少，没有”，与law“法律”组合的单词可推测为“使……成为非法，宣布……不合法”。
