I haven’t been this worried about a fictional woman since June Osborne

I really liked this story up until the last chapter and now this one. I mean, I get it, the CCSA is basically a Christian fundamentalist version of North Korea, and none of the last 2 chapters would be out of place in North Korea if Lorinda was trying to escape North Korea instead of trying to procure an abortion. But... I think the authors jumped the shark here. Like... Lorinda is allowed to drive 5 hours unimpeded on a highway to find a woman posing as the doctor she hopes to see, who has a small army of thugs to hunt her down and rough up the guy who the CCSA is hoping to turn into a happily-married father? Wouldn't it have just been easier for the CCSA to pull her over on the highway? Doesn't beating up Brad simply give Lorinda an ally if the two ever get back together again? (Brad might be anti-abortion, but he's definitely going to be anti-CCSA after this incident.)
