It may be a simple point, and one that has been addressed but that I've missed, but I'd like to see intelligent freepers comment on the following: is a woman who gets an abortion the same as O.J. Simpson, morally speaking? And if so, would it be the view of most pro-life freepers that a 20 to life jail sentence ensue? And if not, why not?

Actually, since this is first degree murder, a death sentence would be more appropriate in both examples. The abortionists should also be charged.

Im most cases though, negligent homicide/manslaughter would be more appropriate for the mothers since they were fed a lifetime of propaganda that the unborn aren't sentient beings.

I guess it depends on the circumstances. If the woman is 18 or so, and she's in love with her boyfriend, and she tells her boyfriend she wants the baby, but the boyfriend says that if she doesn't have the abortion he will never see her again -- I'd say no. And just about all the abortions of which I'm personally familiar fall into those general parameters.
