If doctors providing abortions are murderers then why aren't the women getting the abortions guilty of murder too? The answer is that they know the specter of throwing women in jail for getting abortions would create a strong backlash from most sane people. They're hypocrites. Put your money where your mouth is,anti choice cretins,and start tossing women in jail.

a person asking women in a anti-abortion protest what they thought the proper punishment should be for women who get an abortion. He asked well over a dozen women & only one said charge them & put them in jail. Most gave him a blank look like "I never thought of that before." While that pissed me off, I was moved at some of their responses. Once he had them focus on the woman & not the fetus, most of them had some compassion. Now, will they will change their viewpoint, having seen the issue from another perspective, I have no idea.

It's not going to change. Until women stop supporting that party there's little hope.

Oh well, there's also the courts, who could... oh I dunno... declare once and for all that women have the same right to bodily integrity as ... oh, I dunno... a corpse?

That'll be the day.
