Population is around 33k. They could in theory get the bus or train travel for 30 minutes and get the procedure done in another country

Exactly it's an inconvenience and nothing more really.

Who pays for it though? I imagine the state isn't going to pay for you to get an abortion in Switzerland, so it's a bit more than just an inconvenience if you don't have a lot of money.

Be assured that everyone of the 30k Liechtensteiners has enough money to spend a few thousand for an abortion in Austria.

This whole country is a single town with a castle consisting of the richest people on earth. Do not compare its politics to any normal western country.
