The law can distinguish between the mother and the abortionist-it’s not axiomatic that they would be equally culpable in the eyes of the law. For instance, the mother could be subject to mitigating factors which would ameliorate her guilt, and aggravating factors which would increase it.

It would be an interesting study, and one that would NEVER be allowed to be done,

to find out how many abortions are performed under coercive circumstances, boyfriend forcing it, or to hide a rape, etc.

Very well said. I posted something, although not nearly as articulate, which essentially said the same thing as your post.

The Texas statute overtunned by Roe, V. Wade only punished the abortionist. Ironically, only the abortionist who joined his case with Roe’s got relief.
