Well, I think people who insist abortion is murder SHOULD apply the normal murder penalties. In case of rape or incest, they could maybe give the option of parole after 40 years. Otherwise they're saying it's only a little bit murder. Force the issue.

You have a hemorrhaging pregnant woman come in and either you let her die and you're sued or you're facing the death penalty for saving her life.
I used to cover an ER as a midwife and I wouldn't touch this state with a 10 foot pole.

Many states have at least two lawmakers who are totally nuts and have proposed stuff like this.
