  There's no one more vulnerable than a child in the womb and more deserving of protection.

  Agreed, but surely procuring an abortion should still be recognised as a crime and subject to some penalty as well. 
  
  <<"The pro-life movement has long considered women to be the second victims of abortion and would never promote a measure that would place post-abortive women in prison.">>
  
  Is the solution then to target those who encourage, facilitate and provide abortions and subject them to harsher criminal sanctions.
