...Has anyone been prosecuted for murder for performing an abortion since the Roe decision? If not, why not?

...The USSC has no ability to stop a state from prosecuting murder. Get your local prosecutor to indict, and hold a trial..

First, abortions are not "performed". They are committed. Surgery is performed, but abortion-killing cannot normally be rationally likened to anything resembling the life-saving procedure of a surgery. Clean up your language. This is a family forum.

Would it be that it such killings be prosecuted, but the practical outcome of any conviction, from a prosecutor's perspective, would be the overturning of the judgment by appellate courts, which in turn renders such prosecutions untenable.

None of the above regarding the raw power of the court changes the inherent evil, baseless irrationality of the Roe and Bolton decisions.

Cordially,

extinguish every trace of this bloody traffic,
of which our posterity, looking back to the history
of these enlightened times will scarce believe
that it has been suffered to exist so long
a disgrace and dishonor to this country"
