But normally, anti-abortion advocates say that they only want to go after the doctors.
I can only speak for myself on this, but here goes.
on the one hand, the moral choice would be to go after the doctors and the women, but as you said, there are pragmatic reasons not to. If the goal is to stop as many abortions as possible while shifting what little public support there is in favor of stopping abortions as little as possible, then it makes sense to target doctors(god i hope that's not too confusing, lol). it's a trade off. =/
I like it when people make good arguments (not very common), even ones that poke holes in my logic.
yeah, but text-based conversations are prone to misunderstandings, and I tend to overthink things, so here we are, lmao.

Nope, makes perfect sense. Of course, it opens people up to the accusation of hypocrisy, same as leftists when they're OK with a murderer being prosecuted for double murder when a woman is pregnant, thus recognizing the potential life as a child in that context but not others.

Not a bad thing. It's not exactly as if there is a surfeit of pleasant people here.
