any "abortion related" medical procedures mean almost nothing.
1. Statutes of Limitations... the risk of prosecution lasts for as long as the statutes of limitations which could be years to decades or even no limitation. Anyone involved (patient, doctor, nurse, pharmacist, and the Uber driver or family member) will be at risk.
2. No doctor will participate in illegal activity. Even without legal prosecution, an allegation made to the licensing authority might well result in the loss of medical license, ability to practice any medicine, and possibly fines.
3. A local DA might decide not the prosecute. However nothing prevents a right wing State Attorney General (or equivalent), eager to prove what a Christofascist they really are, from taking the allegations away from the local DA and filing the charges themselves.
In the end, abortion procedures (even to the point of proscribing pills to end the pregnancy... or even some forms of birth control) will come to an end in the anti-abortion states. They will move right back to the "back alley" procedures that existed before Roe. Performed by illegal doctors in unsanitary conditions and if something goes wrong, don't count on being rushed to a hospital to save your life.
No medical personnel will take the risk. No hospital will allow procedures to take place. No clinics will be openly allowed to operate. We are back to 1960s pre Roe v. Wade. For those "in trouble" and who have means, a "vacation" to a state or country that allows for the procedure will be the only option... and for those without means...
