Because they have believed lies.

Wrong answer. Remember - the context here is IF abortion was outlawed should women be punished. You argue they should not be.
What they believe is irrelevant. What they know is that abortion is illegal.
Beat me to it by 23 seconds.
Abortion was illegal in 1900 and the woman was considered, by law cited on this thread, to be a victim of the abortion.
I will say that society was more rational, wise and just in 1900 than it is today.
The bloodiest century in all of human history, the 20th, has corrupted so much.
