Well, if we're right in our interpretation of the 14th Amendment; then no state could have any kind of law allowing abortions, or least not for 99+% of the cases (medical exceptions, possibly, again, I'll let the legal scholars figure out the extent).
However, the various laws and penalties may vary state to state. Kansas may choose to prosecute both "mother" and abortionist. Kentucky might just go after the abortionist. Specific penalties and sentencing guidelines would likely vary state to state, just as they do with state murder statutes.
Of course, all of this is dependent on a federal judiciary who will properly interpret the 14th Amendment (among other parts of the Constitution), get rid of the Roe v. Wade precedent, and apply the Constitution to state laws. The process starts by appointing those judges. Overturn Roe. Then, challenge state abortion laws vis a vis the 14th Amendment.
I absolutely agree.
Of course, I would add others to the list of responsibility for carrying out what you just said.
The legislative branches, at the state and federal levels, must bring their power to bear simultaneously.
The exectuvie branches, at the state and federal levels, must bring their power to bear simultaneously.
After all, all of the above, in fact every single officer of the United States, at every level, has a sworn duty to do so.
I reject the notion that this is ALL about the courts. They have the means to solve this the quickest and the cleanest, [after all, they are the ones who created this mess, and allowed the butchery of fifty million Americans] but in the event of their recalcitrance, the other branches of government, and in fact the people themselves, have an equal duty to stop this holocaust. The failure to do so is at best a gross sin of omission, one for which we all will have to answer to our Creator. And, if we are to be judged, in an earthly sense, we will be judged corporately as a nation.
It is not an “either/or” situation. It is “all of the above.”
This is why the choice of a truly pro-life president, a truly Republican president, is so important.
And, this is why every candidate for public office must be held to the same standard.
