“A form of punishment could be as simple as a class on human development and a mandatory review of sonograms of unborn babies.”
That’s quite an insignificant sentence for murder, don’t you think?
This controversy highlights a big problem of consistency and intellectual honesty in the pro-life camp.
They want to define all abortions as murder yet don’t want to impose the punishment for murder on the perpetrators.
Something is very wrong with that position. Trump is not the only one who needs to think about this - the whole pro-life movement is clueless.

When you consider that a large number of young women who use abortion for birth control do so because they sincerely believe that it is *not* killing and is no different than any other kind of birth control--then the wisdom of such a punishment becomes apparent. First time offense, she is mandated to learn the truth about abortion. Second time offense, she goes to prison or something--on the second round, she cannot claim ignorance.
I would make it a mandatory requirement for the abortionist to discuss the facts of fetal development (not the lies they typically tell if specifically asked), and to show the woman the ultrasound of the baby before getting her to sign any papers. (Despite what pro-aborts claim, sonograms are routine prior to abortions--the abortionist uses them to determine the size of the baby in order decide on the method to kill the baby.) And then I would make it mandatory for the abortionist to show the baby to the woman afterwards.
The abortion industry thrives only because its customer base does not truly understand its product. I think that if young women were educated about abortion, the abortion industry would lose a lot of business.
