A woman's right to abort a child is not the prevision of the state in which she lives. An unborn child is NOT an American citizen, and therefor no law administers his/her birth. (Except the right to proper medical surveillance during pre-birth and birth which is the woman's right and not that of the unborn child.)
In the US today abortion is a legal option for any woman and there is no need to go "abortion hunting". From Wikipedia here: Abortion in the United State
In Europe, it is virtually the sole decision of the pregnant woman whether to keep a pregnancy or abort it. From Wikipedia here: Abortion in Europe

Abortion is legal throughout the United States and its territories, although restrictions and accessibility vary from state to state. Abortion is a highly controversial and divisive issue in the society, culture and politics of the U.S., and various anti-abortion laws have been in force in each state since at least 1900. Since 1976, the Republican Party has generally sought to restrict abortion access based on the stage of pregnancy or criminalize abortion, whereas the Democratic Party has generally defended access to abortion and has made contraception easier to obtain.

Despite a wide variation in the restrictions under which it is permitted, abortion is legal in most European countries. 95% of European women of reproductive age live in countries which allow abortion on demand or for broad socioeconomic reasons.
