Ha ha!
The correct answer of course (from their point of view and so as not to corrupt their moral integrity) is that the women shouldn't be punished, but the person performing the illegal operation should.

... which leads to the argument that outlawing it would drive it underground.
So, even though I'm fairly firmly anti-abortion, I think it's probably best to keep it legal but to deal more with the issues that lead to unwanted pregnancies, as well as offering more support to those who find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy.
But then, my opinions aren't firm enough to stand at the side of the road and shout about it...

wouldn't that make the person performing the operation
the equivalent of a hitman?
so they probably should be punished, for getting someone else to kill their child. by that logic.
