Even when abortion was illegal it was the doctors performing the abortion that were normally prosecuted.

Well....slavery was once legal. What does that prove? I thought that the pro-life idea was based on principle not expediency. If the woman decided to have an abortion, isn't she a murderer? If so, why shouldn't be executed? Why she is any less guilty than the person she hires to to help her perform the murder?

I only mentioned it because of the historic legal precedence. I did not claim that it proves anything; nor do I mention the morality thereof.

>I thought that the pro-life idea was based on principle not expediency.

I’d say that normally it is.

>If the woman decided to have an abortion, isn’t she a murderer?

Certainly an accomplice, but if we look at it as an assassination then she’s certainly the one “ordering the hit.”

>If so, why shouldn’t be executed? Why she is any less guilty than the person she hires to to help her perform the murder?

I never said any of that. But here’s something for you to mull over: it is a fact that women convicted of rape (think schoolteachers) get lighter sentences then men. Is that right? {I think not; in fact, it is my opinion that rapists and murmurers should be put to death.}
