It's not a dig against women at all.

It's people doing what they need to do to obtain needed health care if the government creates unnecessary obstacles based on fundamentalist religious beliefs. It's more about circumventing dumbass laws to do what needs to be done.

Back alley abortions are also against the law, and they put not only the person getting an abortion at a severe health risk, but they also put the person performing the abortion at a huge legal risk - but I never blamed the women who got them. That's a slightly different analogy because the person performing it consents to perform it ... but all the same the woman is willing to screw up someone else's life in order to get the abortion done, so there are some ethical similarities.
