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.

"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."

Why? If it is wrong it is wrong. The doctor is only carrying out the wishes of the mother. If the mother was able to abort the unborn child on her own why should she be any less responsible? That being the case, the next question come to how we would enforce such a law? This is where I have some issues.

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

Completely agree that it should not be trumpted like it is. I think society should make it a (nearly) unacceptable choice. However, I don't like the idea of the government getting involved too much since as I said before enforcement would lead to a nightmare since it is really quite easy for a woman to abort an unborn child on her own without any outside assistance.
