Authorities will enforce an abortion ban in the same manner they enforce bans on underage drinking, illegal drug use, drunk driving, etc. There are quite a few people who will drive home from the bar tonight while intoxicated. It is Friday night after all. Not all of them will be pulled over by the police. But some will, and they'll go to jail, and there isn't anything unconstitutional about it.

But the examples you give are all victimless crimes, unless the drunk behind the wheel doesn't manage to make it home safely -- but even in that case he'd be charged with vehicular homicide in addition to drunk driving.

Looking at the invective here, it strikes me that the goal is to have abortion treated exactly like murder (referring to doctors as serial killers, etc), since it snuffs out an innocent human life. And there's no statute of limitations for murder.

What you're proposing is not a "serious" enforcement of an abortion ban, as I put it in my posts. It's lackadasical enforcement, and that's not going to be good enough for some of the more vocal participants in this debate.

Abortionists are serial killers. Once you manage to get over the hurdle of condoning this SCOTUS sanctioned wrong in the specious name of a woman's right to choose and an unborn child disenfranchisement with no choice to live or die, you might start to look at how it is that a society changes its direction short of revolution or catastrophic disaster.
