  On a slightly more serious note, our source in the Political Science department raises an interesting question. If Roe v. Wade were overturned and abortion made illegal, how would you punish the women who recieved illegal abortions? Would you equate their actions with murder, manslaughter, or would you ignore their transgression in order to pursue the doctors who provide illegal abortions?
PS seems to think that prosecuting the doctors would be the best choice: after all we are dealing with a generation of women who were raised with the notion that a fetus is not a human being at all (what exactly it is otherwise, I have never found out). How could you hold a person responsible for their actions if they didn't think they were doing something wrong? How could they have the pre-requisite mens rea for murder if they never intended to kill "another human being? " An interesting proposal...put aside whatever your views are on abortion (pro-choice/pro-life) and think about this...I'm still thinking about it myself, as I think it's a difficult and interesting puzzle. Comments??
