If the so-called pro-life fanatics succeed in criminalizing abortion, will they then call for the death penalty for women and providers? They believe abortion is murder as life begins at the moment of conception so why not impose the death penalty.
Many of these so-called pro-life ideologues are so extreme they believe there are no situations where abortion would be permitted. Those who claim they would support abortion when the "life of the mother" is threatened, define what "threatens the life of the mother" so narrowly as to pose a public health risk if their agenda were adopted.
Personal story: Several years ago my 31 year old cousin died in her 37th week of pregnancy. Her death resulted from complications of uncontrolled hypertension. Her child was delivered via C-section (now politicised). Her child was born with a severe neural tube defect. Her husband couldn't hack the stress, and took off. Her distraught 60 something parents, unable to pull the plug on their deceased daughter's child, suffered emotionally, physically, and financially for 19 months as the child languished on life support, endured 11 surgeries and never progressed beyond her vegetative neonatal condition. To say this pregnancy was a tragedy is a profound understatement, but I doubt the ideologues would agree that high blood is reason to terminate pregnancy even when the fetus presents with a neural defect. In such situations who should make personal medical decisions? The family, the legislature, maybe the police?
Do we 'focus on the family' or the government to make personal, medical decisions?
On second thought, forget the death penalty. Let's return to a more puritanical era, and
