Okay to those of you who believe that abortion should be made illegal in the U.S.
If a woman is bound and determined to have an abortion and it's illegal. How should the governent prevent a woman from having an abortion that is bound and determined to have an abortion? Would you jail her or confine her? Or how should the woman be stopped from having an abortion?
Think about your answer carefully, because other people besides Christians will read and judge your answer.

They can't. A desperate person will resort to desperate- and dangerous methods. How many women died from botched abortions done by amateurs, or even by themselves? Is it worth it to have a law that protects a clump of cells, yet endangers a fully formed, living and realized person? If Roe v. Wade is overturned, women will have no other choice than to go back to the coat hangers, and knitting needles, and whatever else was used in those unsafe, risky techniques. History has shown that making abortion illegal will NOT stop women from having them, will NOT control the number of unwanted pregnancies, and will NOT make this country a better place.

If it's not offered, then how can she have one in the (hypothetical) US? In secret by a black market doctor? Well, she'll pay for it and probably through the purse. What's not legal costs a lot of money. Leave the US for it? Her choice.
NO one is going to be jailed for wanting an abortion. I'd hope that there would be more education out there on preventing pregnancies to begine with.

It's still up to the state; Roe V Wade makes it a federal instead of a state matter.
If you don't want abortions to occur, you'd better be ready to adopt. You cannot prevent backstreet abortions and the inevitable problems that they cause.
An "army" of willing adopters might succeed in preventing the bulk of abortions, and still prevent plenty of them if Roe V Wade is not overturned.
Are you willing?

I don't think you go after the woman, I think you go after the person performing the abortion.
In the case of a person with a medical license in a safe setting, the medical license is revoked. We assume that they're just misguided, that they felt it was "the right thing to do" and they knew the consequences and were willing to take the risk.
Someone who doesn't have a medical license or does not perform it in a safe environment is charged with one count of muder (for the baby killed) and one count of attempted murder (for the mother.) If the mother dies, two counts of murder. Whatever the local laws are regarding these crimes is to be followed.

Someone asked the President what he thought of Roe v Wade.
He said he didn't care how the blacks got out of New Orleans.

Why don't a woman pratice safe sex. I mean get a condom, get on birth control. Or better yet don't spread your legs.
