How do you envision the enforcement of abortion bans working exactly? Let's work through it and discuss. Should miscarriages be criminal investigations? What should be the penalties? Should drinking alcohol while pregnant be attempted murder (or pharmaceuticals, smoking cigarettes, etc)?
There are a lot of "pro-life" leaning people who think the enforcement aspects are too complicated to overcome with more laws and the Pregnancy Police. Abortion bans sound nice on paper, but what do they look like in real life?
What does an abortion ban look like on the street? First, I would have to consider this the same as any other murder. For those who believe that we are in fact discussion a separate individual life, there is not escape from this other than flagrant dishonesty which turns on accepting murder for the sake of convenience which I can no more do than accept the random execution of young children at school for the sake of convenience (but the statists can if it supports their political agendas).
Simply put, it would eliminate the industrialized production scale murder of the innocent. There is not way to deal with every situation, just as not every murder is solved and Kinnesaw, Georgia never inspected homes to make sure that they do in fact have a gun. It would also address the notion that being inconvenient by virtue of existing is not an offense worthy of execution. Charlie Manson got better treatment than that!
I am also surprised that no one picked up on the second half of my original post. As it stands, one individual has absolute control over the life or death of another, and enough control to make a third individual's life miserable for decades. No one seems to have noticed this.
