I have never encountered someone with such a lack of rigor in their thought processes. Reading your response is just ... bizarre.

    I just said there isn't such a punishment that is appropriate. Where did you read me as making such an argument?

How about the very first sentence you wrote on the topic?

    You punish the doctors ...

Seriously, you need to do some research before you form an opinion on abortions. Or do as I have, and be with a woman as she makes the decision, go with her to the clinic, and hold her hand as she goes through the process.

There is no part of that process that is easy. There is no time where the potential infant is not in the room, a part of the decision.

Having an abortion is not like ordering a McChicken at the drive through.

And punishing anyone for having or giving an agreed-upon medical procedure, is unwarranted in every case, regardless of your morals. It is a medical decision, and you do not get to be in the room while the patient and doctor make the decision of the appropriate course of action. For any procedure. Ever.
