I'm of two minds on the answer to this. On the one hand, preventing her from having an abortion could be a violation of Roe v. Wade, but on the other hand lying to the police is illegal. Perhaps she can have the abortion (to appease pro-choicers and to not interfere with Roe v. Wade), but the standard penalty for lying to a police officer is applied. This is assuming that the father doesn't have a verifiable history of violence.
