exodus - Such an act would violate the Constitution, specifically the 4th Amendment, the 5th Amendment, the 8th Amendment, the 9th Amendment, the 10th Amendment, and the 14th Amendment. Legally, people can't be punished for a crime they might commit.
tpaine - Ahh, - I see, ~"might"~` is your qualifyer. How would you enforce your law against a woman caught in the act of attempted abortion? Would she be released to attempt so-called 'murder' again, until she succeded?
exodus - "Attempted" murder is a crime. A person who tried to murder another is subject to imprisonment. Since her baby is inside her, she would have to be watched, maybe even restrained, to prevent a successful murder at a later time.
tpaine - You make my point. Thanks.

I don't see your point, tpaine.
