Depends on what you consider a need.
Either way two are responsible for the situation - both should be punished.

No it doesn't depend on what I consider a need, and I offered the only exception.
Since I don't think it is any of the Federal Government's business, punishment is not a concern of mine.
I hate Abortion, would do anything I could to convince a woman not to make that choice.
However ... Regardless my desires, some women will seek abortions and a clinical environment is safer than an alley.
Culpability is between the woman and God, I am not the judge of that.
However ... It is wrong to use Federal tax dollars to provide abortions services.
Of course these are just my personal views, with respect to all parties involved.
You should try it some time.

Abortion is absolutely essential.
We already have about 4 times the population of humans that the planet can sustain, and that is by massive use of hundreds of millions of years worth of concentrated fossil fuel.
Once that runs out, then we will be in real trouble.
Reducing the population by about a factor of 4 is the only way humans can avoid extinction.
We have way too high of a reproductive rate, based on millions of years as prey.
Now that we are alpha predator's and no longer prey, the reproduction rate is way too high.
