Looking over this forum I can see that this question has not been asked before, and yet it is a very important question.
What penalty should abortion carry?
Think about your answer then consider this next question
How will we know if a woman has actually had an abortion? (remembering that legislation does nothing to affect the rate of abortion)
and finally once you have thought on that
If someone you knew were admitted to in ICU with severe blood loss and sepsis and it was thought to be related to a backyard abortion - would you still want them prosecuted to the full extent of the law?
