Hold on. Forget about the women and the doctor for one second, and let's talk about the child. If abortion is banned then that means that every woman who will get pregnant will have to give birth to their child (unless the woman had a miscarriage). Everyday, hundreds if not thousands of women give birth to a baby. If abortion is banned then the country will have some serious overpopulation problem. Also, what about the father? Why should it be just the doctor and the mother who will be prosecuted? Isn't he at fault, too?
