Alan Colmes uses this same premise on his Show if a Caller is Pro Life. He has for years.
Ones personal opinion means nothing. The Law is all that matters.
We have degrees of Homicide Laws and we have degrees of Manslaughter Laws. There is vast disagreement in how those Laws are used.
If a Pregnant Woman abuses Alcohol (a legal substance) and the Unborn Child dies, is she charged with Negligent Homicide? Did she mean to do it? If so, if proven in a Court of Law could it be First Degree Murder?
How about she is on some crazy Diet that damages or kills the Fetus?
The Law is a very complex thing.
IMHO, Viability will be the Thin Red Line. I doubt that Abortion will ever be Illegal, but it will and should be restricted.
I believe, and I could be wrong that Roe v Wade had a viability clause which has never been part of the discussion.
Heck, the Abortion Laws in Liberal Semi-Socialist Europe are tougher than those in the United States, just as the Immigration Laws in third world Mexico are tougher than those in the United States.
Of course, those facts are never part of the discussion in this Country. The Hypocrisy is too inconvenient.
The pro abortion mob have no problem of murdering a baby and yet don’t want to kill someone in prison for murdering someone how’s that for insane logic.
It bothers me that women who have abortions are often thought of as just another victim. Some of them are just as heartless as the “doctors” and express no remorse for it.
NO, go after the actual murderer, the abortionist. Charge the abortionist with first degree MURDER.
I realize that the woman could be viewed as hiring a murderer (hit man), making her just as guilty. Which she is. Let the courts decide. I’m okay with it either way.
Murder is murder.
Just remember, the old saw that a woman has a right to do what she wants with her own body.
The problem with that is that the baby’s body isn’t hers. In this country it is an abomination and illegal for one human being to OWN another. Babies are not PROPERTY.
So, a woman can not legally dispose of an unwanted human being. Abortion is worse than lynching.
Logic fails Chris. You go after the murderer....Gosnell
“If you believe abortion’s murder, “you go after the person” who had the abortion”
I researched this argument when Trump said something along this line during the primary campaign.
Prosecuting women was not American judicial policy when abortion was illegal.
Women were considered the victims of abortionists.
There were exactly TWO occasions in the entire 20th Century when women were prosecuted for getting abortions.
In the majority of states such prosecutions were not even possible. In the states where they were possible they were exceedingly rare, witness just two prosecutions.
Chris Matthews is an (alleged) professional journalist. It’s not hard to find out the history of how abortion was prosecuted in America. Ergo he’s either lazy, incompetent, or a liar.
I vote he’s all three.

The abortionist is like a hit man or woman.
If you get rid of the “hit women”, the women arent gonna self-abort. They dont want to die either.
Of course the woman should go to jail. Unless it’s a minor who was forced by her parents to go thru with it. But you’ll never find a politician that would dream of introducing this into legislation. Political suicide.
>> Going after the doctor is a cute way of avoiding the question. If it’s murder, act on it. If it’s not, stop saying it.
Matthews distancing himself from the murder he’s facilitated.
