There are practically 0 people that want to charge mothers with abortions.And soon we as a society are going to have to make a very hard decision. There will be many unhappy people with whatever decision is made. Thanks to medical technology we have children able to live outside the human body until they are able to breathe on their own. That time will slowly advance. Right now it maybe a coin toss if a state would call the willful death of a premature baby as an abortion or a murder.
Do you really think there are enough people in this country that want to charge women with murder for having an abortion for it to become law?
If it did become law, would we not then have to investigate every miscarriage to ensure the mother was not at fault?

That is a pointless talking point. The pro-life position is against the sanctioning of abortion though medical practice.
Multiple people on this thread have said abortion is murder. If they truly feel that way then they have to support murder charges for the mother and the doctor.

I am only one voice in the efforts to decriminalize abortions. So, I know better than to presume that I speak for all the others.
I for one do support the argument for murder charges to (at least) remain on the table for women who abort.
It is what it is and the basis is very simple. If a woman (or anyone else) can be charged with murder for killing a child in the womb, even unintentionally, during the committing of a criminal act (sans our fetal homicide laws).... then why should that same woman be charged with anything less than a murder. . . If she kills a child INTENTIONALLY with an abortion?
Thank you for being straight forward. It is a conundrum that is for sure, one of many laws we have that really make no logical sense.
Why is porn legal and prostitution not?
Why is beer legal and pot is not?
You are welcome and for my part, society can afford to be a little more arbitrary on some issues more than others. Even to the point of contradictions like you illustrated.
