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."

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.

Tell you what. Punishing the abortionist seemed to work well enough before the rogue activist courts decided to turn established state laws on their heads. Let's try it. The situation was certainly better than what we have now. Or do you really think that 40 million less Americans since 1973 is a good thing? Many of those slain were from my generation.
You really do need to ask yourself what's worse--several thousand women dead over a period of many years from botched home abortions or 40 million dead babies? The answer is a no brainer, if you ask me. And with the rise of crisis pregnancy centers, there is even less reason to ever put a baby to death.
