“Whoever gave the pill should get the death penalty.”

Okay, if the phamacist should get the death penalty, should we also give the death penalty to the woman who takes the abortion pills?

Of course.

In fact, if we define a "chain of culpability", she holds the top spot. She decided she wanted the child murdered, and acted with malice aforethought.

If she chooses to hire a hitman, it is the abortionist who does the actual killing. Or if she chooses to poison the child herself, it is the pharmacist who willingly and with full knowledge of her murderous intent sells her the poison.

Now as in every murder case, there may be mitigating circumstances. (For instance, a 13-year-old girl carrying her father's child, and whose father gets the death pill from the pharmacist and tells the girl to take it.) But the above legal framework is analogous to murder as we've always known it, and simplifies the case so that the culprits may be punished according to existing law.

I see you can only ask questions, not respond to them. You are a dishonest conversationalist if you cannot answer questions put to you. Conversation over Trumandogz the enabler.....
