No one has voted for physically restricting mothers so far. I'm happy to hear that of course, but let me pose a scenario for pro-life advocates:

Let's say it's illegal for doctors to perform abortions, and a pregnant woman is desperate to have an abortion. She says openly that she is going to get it done, however she can. There's every reason to believe she is serious. Should this be grounds to restrain her to prevent her from seeking/performing an abortion? If so, how would the laws you propose justify this?

On a side note, I don't understand how someone can consider an abortion murder and yet hold only the doctor accountable. If the mother is a willing participant, then she's an accomplice to murder.
Feel free to send me a private message.
