No, I wrote what I meant to say. Thanks.

How to you propose the government implement the policy of forcing a women to bring an unborn child to term against her will? There are many ways to abort a child without a doctor including the use of commonly available herbs that have been used for centuries throughout many cultures. If a woman is pregnant, does the government have the right to keep her from engaging in risky behavior, e.g. drinking, smoking, kickboxing, bungy-jumping, or imbibing certain completely legal herbal concoctions? How do you suggest such government controls be implemented? May I suggest we take all pregnant women who seem to have a predisposition toward abortion and place them in an artificial coma for 9 months until the unborn child comes to term. That way we can be certain the mother doesn't do anything that might harm the unwanted baby.

Just making it illegal and NOT trumpeting it like it was some glorious right of all free woman would be a start.

They can be more lenient to the pregnant woman but nail the provider for second degree murder of a child with life in jail or death penalty.

It is not about eliminating it, just curtailing it as per all crimes.

What you imply is like saying do not punish drug offenses as people can just sniff organic solvents anyway.
