I need more analysis than that. What are the penalties for people who perform abortions but are not licensed doctors? You can't take away licenses they don't have.

A special degree of murder. Felony. 5-10 years first offence. 20-life for second.

Do you have a bunch of incarcerated preggos (if the abortion doesn't take, and they are convicted of attempted abortion)?

Sure. there are pregnant women in prisons and jails, no? They way the system works I doubt that someone post-first trimester who gets arrested for attempted abortion will be convicted prior to delivery, although she could be in jail.

Or have them doing community service at 8 months, or after the kid is born -- which would take them away from any children they might have? Way to encourage strong families.

I am not against community service sentences for attempted abortion or even, maybe, in some cases, for women who procure successful abortions.

Why? I am admittedly not a public policy wonk. I am giving my general view. I am not qualified to create sentencing statutes/guidelines. It is not what I do.
