Read what I'm saying because I've explained very clearly. The ambivalence is all on your side of the table. If you come home one day and you find a family of yours dead at the bottom of the stairs in a pool of blood, are you going to throw your hands in the air in incredulity, and say, "Well, we don't if they tripped or if they were pushed. What on earth are we to do?"
This is so utterly stupid and off target that I guess I have no response.

You get someone to investigate it. Its the same with the hypothetical scenario. Its entirely possible that many people have been murdered on a stair case, whether pregnant or not, that got away. But you don't use this as some sort of reason re-legalize abortion in the event that some people get away with it. If they escape human justice, let be on their conscience until a Higher Authority deals with the act.
Ok, I guess I'll play along to see if I can't get it through your head how ridiculous you are being.
A pregnant women has fallen down the stairs. She says she tripped. The fall resulted in her having a miscarriage. Case closed, NJ. How would you even prove that she did it on purpose? Do you understand?
And every friggen miscarriage would HAVE to be treated as a crime...as in ALL of them...as in every single one.
Now, if you want to be some sort of "Grade A Asshole", and accuse every women that has a miscarriage of being a criminal, so be it. Me...well, I'm pretty much against that sort of thing.

No, it really wouldn't. It would be handled like any other gynecological exam. If abortion were illegal then gynecologists would likely be mandated to speak out should any suspicions of a self-induced abortion present themselves.
You just don't think these things through, do you?
Crashfrog has done a far better job than I in explaining the stupidity of this argument, but here I go nonetheless.
If abortions were illegal, women would no go to the gynecologist. Christ, NJ, how hard is that to figure out?
Oh, and how, in the stair falling example, would a gynecological exam be of any value? Let's say that some poor women accidentally falls down the stairs and loses her baby. Let's suppose she's very distraught and her story sounds unconvincing to a jury of NJs. You would put her away for life as a murderer. What a guy NJ...what a great guy.

If the gynecologist lied for the mother because he was sympathetic...
What if it went the other way NJ? What if he secretly loved this women and lied to punish her for her refusal to have an affair? Fry the bitch!

Why not treat ALL abortions in this manner right now? Drop your desire to make abortions illegal and let's just leave it up to God. I'm perfectly ok with that...as I'm sure most of us would be.
