You’re only incentivizing home abortions - coat hangers, pills, gut-shots - these are likely to be more dangerous than a doctor.

Pardon me, but bull cr@p. Some people are going to do patently illegal things in their homes. Society has a duty to tell them that such things are dangerous and not endorse them or make them legal just because "people are going to do it anyway."

And abortion is not just a woman doing something potentially harmful to herself. Every abortion is extraordinarily dangerous in every case--to the baby.

You said:

No penalty for the woman. Prison for the butcher.

If abortion becomes illegal, then by not punishing the woman for having a home abortion, there is no point to the law. "It's a symbolic law." How special. You're incentivizing home abortions with no doctor involved - a much more dangerous situation for everyone.
