“I would follow the Bible.”
I did a bit of Googling and found this...
But Exodus 21:22 reads:
When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no further harm follows, the one responsible shall be fined what the woman’s husband demands, paying as much as the judges determine.
To me what this is addressing is what the payment should be when a third party causes you damage - similar to someone stealing something from you. But abortion is causing “damage” to yourself, so just like there is no punishment if you “steal” from yourself, is the bible then saying that there should be no punishment if you cause the abortion of your baby?

I was also wondering, what was the punishment for abortion pre Roe vs Wade?
The point is that the punishment for the death of a preborn human is less than for the death of a baby. So I would favor not pressing murder charges for a doctor who performs an abortion when it’s illegal. More like manslaughter or even make up a suitable punishment/crime such as Knowingly Taking a Protected Life. The punishment should be more than someone destroying a vulture egg (already illegal) but less than murder. At this point in our history, a vulture egg is a legally protected life form but a viable human preborn is not.
