Yes, and when Roe is overturned and abortion is made illegal, women who have abortions will be charged with murder.

No.

When Roe is overturned it will be up to the several states to decide if abortion shall be legal in each state.

If pre-Roe laws are to be our guide, then it won't be mothers that get prosecuted," but thanks for outlining NARAL's scare-mongering for them.

Fact: Even before Roe vs. Wade, you have to go back to 1922 to find where a woman was criminally charged for having an abortion. Prior to 1922 there were exactly two, one in Pennsylvania in 1912 and one in Texas in 1922.

If Roe is overturned and states make abortion illegal, the people who will get charged with murder are people that perform abortions.

When Roe is overturned, abortion will still be murder and murder will still be against the law in all states. I doubt that you would advocate a state's legalization of murder of a four year old child.

And that being the case, you would not advocate a state's right to excuse the two people who take part in the murder of a four year old child.

That being the case, I assume that you would not advocate a state not charging and not prosecuting one of two people that conspire to kill a baby.
