Fuckers.  >:( >:( >:( >:(

Unlikely they will pass any sort of punishment for women getting abortions.

Anti-choicers outside a clinic were asked a few years back how much prison time women should get if they tried to get an illegal abortion (if anti-choicers got their way).  The protesters hemmed and hawed and couldn't come up with any sentence.  Strange I thought if they consider what the women were doing 'murder'.

I've asked people in favor of compulsory pregnancy that same question many times; it's got a certain amount of entertainment value just in watching the various dodges.  They range from "that's not up to me, it's for our lawmakers to decide" to "women having abortions aren't murderers -- they're victims who are being taken advantage of [by Planned Parenthood, abortion doctors, boyfriends, etc]"

The latter is what I'd guess most of them would go for.  The idea that a pregnant woman isn't truly responsible for her actions is consistent with the "womb" view of a human female as little more than a uterus with legs.

 :(  Sigh. Woman as helpless victim rather than as responsible for her own life.  :(
