If abortion were made illegal, which I think it should be, then both the so called doctor providing the service AND the abortion seeker should be brought up on murder charges. This issue is and always has been about the victims of abortion, the unborn, not about some dumb trollop who’s knocked up and a so called “provider” that wants to make money off of abortion.

So you choose: you can decide to punish the abortionist and prevent future abortions, or you can decide to punish both the woman and her abortionist and so outrage the public that your bill doesn't pass. Not that it's likely to pass in either case, but your version may not be about saving the unborn child so much as about punishing the "dumb trollop."

“...so outrage the public that your bill doesn’t pass.”

The hypothetical question assumed abortion was already illegal and implied a Supreme Court reversal of Roe.

No bill or politicizing is required.

Considering hypothetically that abortion is illegal, what penalties would you consider for all participants?

You realize that having no penalties will lead to an ever increasing number of abortions. Pro-life supporters will demand more penalties. Pro-abortion will insist on the decriminalization all abortions for doctor, mother, facilitators.

We will be back to square one, Roe v. Wade or not.
