“Yes there may be some women that fit your criteria - but most don’t.”

You don’t believe most women regret their abortions?

“you also have to specify the punishment for the crime.”

I believe we should go after the abortionists because that is a more fruitful line.

Since you disagree - what do you believe ought to be done?

I’m searching for a logically defensible answer.

If we say that a fetus is a life (separate from the mother) like you and me then, to be logically consistent, shouldn’t the punishment for the people that take that life be the same as if they took yours or my life?

If not then are you saying that the fetus is not really a life like you and me, but something else (something lesser?). If so, what is that something else? Does the definition of that “something else” change as the fetus develops?
