An interesting point--since there is no statute of limitations on murder, would millions of American women be tried and convicted? Millions of whom now have living children to care for. Many of us who've made the horrific mistake of having an abortion in our younger days have already repented and are active in pro-life and conservative movements. God will judge us..and forgive those who have repented and have asked his forgiveness.

If abortion is taken to be equivalent in every way to murder, with no statute of limitations on murder, then why shouldn't all women who have undergone an abortion (in addition to the doctor performing the abortion) be tried and convicted for murder? Repenting for crimes can play a role in sentencing (and often does), but our justice system does not entirely absolve murderers, rapists, etc based on repenting.
Putting 20 or so million women in jail for murder...
