"
Pro-life leaders should start being candid about how they plan to enforce a ban on abortion. For example, if they believe abortion is premeditated murder, then they seem logically constrained to impose first-degree murder penalties — including the death penalty, if applicable — upon women who abort and those who assist her. Are they willing to do this while remembering that murder has no statute of limitations?"
I am hardly a "pro-life leader", but the answer to this question seems to me to be a no-brainer.
Performing abortions would be made illegal.
That would mean that doctors who perform abortions would be liable under the law.
Doctors (or others) who perform abortions would be taking an enormous risk.
As it it now, they are completely protected under the law.
but you have avoided answering the question, do you believe that the woman and the doctor should be charged with 1st degree murder 100% of the time?
