I would respectfully disagree. (And I mean that since I do respect you)

After investigating the issue myself, listening/reading the arguments of both sides, it seems clear to me that many women who procure an abortion are victims themselves.

Many are pressured by “friends”, husbands, family members etc, to have an abortion and are themselves reluctant to the end to do it. They feel trapped in a web from which they feel they can’t escape, because of this intense pressure from those they have loved and trusted. These same people urging them to do what they know is wrong in their heart. This is the testimony of countless women who have had an abortion.

They also testify to great regret later. And for the rest of their lives feel trapped in a prison of guilt. The truly repentant (again of which are many) don’t deserve prison. They need to know they can be forgiven by God should they really repent.

Certainly I’m sure there are some that have no remorse, and perhaps some legal remedy could be reserved for such women. But the vast majority are not like that, another dirty, unspoken secret of the abortion industry. The millions of women themselves destroyed by the “simple procedure”.

I believe the pro-life movement can only be helped by encouraging these millions of women to come forward, to give their testimony. But they won’t be encouraged to do so if they are rotting in a prison cell.
