The bottom line here is that if a pro-lifer supports only prosecuting abortionists, that pro-lifer is essentially supporting a blanket "License to Abort" for all American women. They would be able to abort with impunity, while others are punished for the crime.

Actually, in most cases, there probably won't be anyone to punish at all, since RU486 (which would allow for easy self-abortions, and would presumably become as easy to buy as pot) will most likely be the abortion method of choice in the event a ban is passed. Unless, of course, pro-lifers decide to support prosecuting women for illegally obtaining the drug, but that would present an embarrassing oddity. Punish the woman for acquiring the murder weapon, but not for killing her unborn child? Is there any planet on which this could be taken seriously?

Honestly, those who claim to be against abortion, but who don't support prosecuting women for murder, are virtually NO DIFFERENT than "personally opposed" pro-choicers. I fail to see what would actually change for women contemplating abortion.

It's either murder under the law, or it isn't. If it is, that has logical and necessary consequences. Otherwise, this is just a joke.
