In the case of the trolley then, none of the acts are immoral, because it's not me that's killing you.
You're changing the premises of the dilemma, here... tss tss tss
How?

Sides is not the issue. Bad use of logic is.
If one is going to call abortion murder, then be logically consistent about it. A girl/women to get one has to have a pre meditated thought to even want one. Then she has to act on that thought and seek out a doctor. The doctor is not the only person involved in that act.
When two guys rob someone for their wallet, one guy might come up with the idea, they both go along with it, one ends up murdering the victim. Most of the time in law, even if one does not have the intent of murder, BOTH will be charged with murder.
Now again, be logically consistent and answer me this right now. WHAT SHOULD BE THE PUNISHMENT FOR THE GIRL/WOMAN?
I think you're confusing the issue.
So you're saying that the doctor is equally guilty? Fine.
What should the punishment be for the girl be? Well I don't personally think either should be punished. But if the doctor does something illegal prompted by the girl then he's as guilty as she is.
