I'm a criminologist & have read about such things, including cases in my locale. But the important point is we need to help women not have abortions (whether legal or illegal) in the first place. We need a more humane society and a culture of life. The US has a deep "culture of death" starting with genocide against native Americans. I'm willing to pay more taxes & put my money where my mouth is re programs that would help reduce abortion.

All good, but if we actually want to reduce abortion, we need to think beyond these & bills that make abortion illegal. Look at Europe with lower abortion rates. Legislation for universal health care (beyond Obamacare), increased min wages (most such wage-earners are women), paid maternity leave, professional free or low cost childcare, & such would go a long way to reducing abortion, not simply putting women who've had abortions in prison...where they get raped, then want another abortion.
