This guy didn't get the memo that you can't go directly after the women themselves, only the doctors and people who assist them getting an abortion to create a chilling effect and harmful physical outcomes for the women.
If you try to go directly after the women legally and treat them as if they actually committed murder (putting them on trial, sending them to jail, executing them) it opens a whole political and legal can of worms that the right doesn't want to actually deal with.
The whole game starts the fall apart and forced-birth positions become exposed for what they are; religiously driven and misogynistic, and this results in those positions becoming impossible to argue in light of the clear intent in the constitution to separate church and state.
This has Handmaid's Tale written all over it. Man I live in a fucking horrible state.
