Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the right board but it seemed close enough. I have a series of 6 questions today for those of you in the pro life movement. I have numbered them, so which ever question you have time to respond to or want to answer I appreciate.
To be clear, this thread is NOT about whether or not abortion should or shouldn’t be legal or whether or not it is right or wrong. I want this conversation to be beyond that. What I want to know what the pro-Life movements plan is for after they pass the motion to outlaw abortion.
In this hypothetical situation, you are elected president and the first thing you do is outlaw abortion. All abortion clinics are closed. You win! Now what?
Thank you sincerely for everyone who gives an answer. I am happy to have a place where I can bring these questions to people in an organized forum.
Thank you for your time and the opportunity to understand better.

- The “abortion pill” is being sold illegally and trafficked. These pills cause women to essentially miscarry. There isn’t really an identifiable difference between a miscarriage and an abortion caused by these pills. How will you crack down on abortions being passed as miscarriages? Will you pass a law requiring investigation of each miscarriage? If not, how will you stop these?
- What will the penalty be for a woman who attempts her own abortion? The doctor who performs it/drug dealer who finds her the pill? The man who impregnated her?
- A crazy party college girl has unprotected sex and she gets pregnant. She is unaware of her condition and continues to party. She takes drugs and alcohol and is admitted to the hospital while intoxicated and suffering a miscarriage. Is she to be charged? If your answer is no because she is not aware, then what stops women from lying? If yes, does the penalty differ from the previous question?
- If you believe there should be an exception for rape; A 16 year old girl comes in 6 weeks pregnant. She claims she was raped but never reported the rape because she was afraid. Is she allowed to get an abortion? Why or why not? Is a police report required? A conviction? If a woman didn’t report her rape is she then forced to carry her rapists baby due to her own fear? If not how do you prevent her from lying?
- If you believe an exception should be made for the mothers life: Hypothetical aside, this is a true personal story from my life. My mother suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum. It’s basically morning sickness on steroids for the entire pregnancy. With my youngest sibling, my mom started the pregnancy at 130 pounds and ended at 93. She was hospitalized multiple times and also contracted a staph infection. As an adult, my mother informed me the doctor had told her she wasn’t sure my mom was going to make it. The doctor said if she got pregnant again, especially in her 30’s, she would almost certainly die. Both her and my little sister survived. But would you have considered my mother sick enough? If my mother had accidentally gotten pregnant again (she was sterilized after she gave birth), would that preliminary diagnosis be enough? Why or why not? What are the parameters for “danger to the mothers life”? Who gets to make the final say? Will there be an investigation to each abortion done for this reason?
- Final question, what are the laws going to be regarding the keeping, caring, and discarding of embryos in IVF centers?
