“The candidate said there must be some form of punishment for women who get abortions”
Historic American jurisprudence didn’t prosecute women who got abortions.
They were regarded by the law as victims of the abortionist. Only the abortion provider was prosecuted.
In all of American history there were exactly two women who were also charged, and neither was convicted as I recall.
Since these two cases were unlike any others there must have been some extenuating circumstance but I didn’t find a detailed explanation what prompted their prosecution.

Until it comes time to take responsibility ...
When it comes to slaughtering babies, suddenly they're mere waifs ... babes in the woods, at the mercy of the big, bad wolf man ...
