The first two are because you can't form a binding contract that requires illegal activity. The abortion stipulation would not be binding if abortion were illegal.
The pound of flesh clause is probably not binding for some silly health and safety reason. Either way, you wouldn't have to give the flesh, just the monetary equivalent.
I'm now inclined to ask @siggy47 to weigh in on our amateur legal theorizing.
Yeah, super interested to see what @siggy47 says. Since this was done in Cali, where abortion is legal, the contract shouldn't run afoul of anything. That was part of the reason she flew to Texas: so that the state would shield her.
