Apologies I forgot that I had not used the abortion example with you on an earlier exchange.

I am not sure what your stance on the "supreme evil" of our day abortion is, but I used the example of 20,000,000 women walking around who contracted to murder their own babies. Our society has long thought murderers should be punished so I was asking whether the cost (financial, cultural...) of putting 20,000,000 women in prison is worth it.
