I am ,however, Pro-Life. i believe our founding documents protect life."The right to Life..." Thus making the act of abortion Illegal. And the punishment for the women as well as the doctor, or whom ever performs it,should be the same as anyone who commits murder. when a women gets pregnant, her body is no longer just "Hers". I would support allowing abortion in the case of a health risk to the mother, she does have the right to protect herself against death.

Which "murder"? Would the woman get "1st degree" and the doctor get "accomplice to"? Considering the vast number of abortions that are obtained, you think it would be practical to put every woman who aborts in jail for 15 years or so?
I'll just say one reason why this has never happened and never will happen is because people don't want their loved ones thrown in jail for such a reason. Many, many, many people know someone who has had an abortion and very, very, very few of those people would be okay with them spending time in jail for their actions. It isn't merely an issue of "Well, it's only not illegal because the Supreme Court are jerks and don't want it to be!". It has a lot to do with "What will the punishment be?" and "Are you okay with the consequences of making this illegal (with an actual punishment) and what it will mean for your loved ones?"
