Obviously not. You either want to stop abortions or not. How do you stop women from wanting to get abortions? I can tell you how you don’t, but letting them have no responsibility for their actions.
The question is, how can the state best suppress the activities of abortionists so as to stop the felonious murder of children before birth. It is simply outside of the realm of possibility that this would be done by attaching criminal penalties to the women. Such legislation has not the slightest chance of passing, not even in the most conservative parts of the US: not in TX, not in UT, not in MS, ND, SD, not anywhere. You couldn’t pass it at Vatican City. You couldn’t pass it at Bob Jones U.
Anyone over the age of college sophomore with a lick of sense
knows this is true.
So wean yourself from this fantasy of meting out to aborted women their just deserts, and concentrate your mind on shutting down the already dwindling number of damned, woman-violating, baby- smashing abortionists.
A wise political axiom: do what you can, not what you can’t.
I've had two D+C's subsequent to natural miscarriages. There would be no way to prove whether they were or weren't induced abortions.
The unique thing about abortion as homicide ---- think about this, please --- is that the murder victim typically has no calcified bones, weighs only a couple of ounces, and is inside the murderer's body. Nobody even has to know of the murder-ee's existence unless the woman tells them. So: an unknown, unnamed, and undetected victim.
In a criminal prosecution, even if you don't know the murder-ee's name, you generally have to produce the murdered body as evidence. This would never happen with abortion, because most abortion victims can be run through the blenderizer and flushed down the sink or the toilet. Hence, the victim is not only unknown, unnamed and undetected, he is also permanently disappeared.
The abortionist possessing the instruments of abortion would not be indictable for that, since abortion tools --- dilators, curettes, suction machines, etc. --- are also used to remove the remains of miscarriage to prevent sepsis.
Who could testify that there had been an abortion at all? Only the doctor would know whether the unborn victim was in fact alive at the time of the procedure.
So, speaking for the prosecution: how do you legally hold the woman responsible for a crime nobody can prove?
