Answer: None. Throw the doctor in jail for 2 years.

Why this distinction? The woman took intentional steps to end the life of her baby. She showed up at the abortion clinic and cooperated as the baby was killed. That sounds like murder to me. How can you not punish her? What's the point of making it illegal if there's no penalty?

There is a difference between rhetoric and reality.

You are playing into the Pro-Abortionist's hands (as if you didn't know...)

"What's the point of making it illegal if there's no penalty?" Sounds like our immigration policy.

I would take another approach - one that I think is already working. Make sure every girl & boy in high school (preferably jr. high) sees the 4-D ultrasounds of in-utero babies at all stages of development. No judgment - just show the evidence of human life. Life is precious, but not everyone has been taught that. Then, I would show them the actual products of abortion mills. The net result: I think I am seeing a lot more teen moms pushing baby carts around with no daddies in sight. Oh well.

Legislatures of the various states have worked out a lot sub classifications of murder to the end of having different laws govern each, with different particulars of enforcement and punishment. This included abortion before the Roe vs Wade decision.

Now I'm not very familiar with those old state laws, but I'll bet they went after the abortionists more then the women. For the heart knows it would be more just to do so.
