Robert P. George, whom I admire, has gone off the rails in his criticism of Donald Trump. George says that no conservative wants to punish women for having abortions, but he admits that the goal of the pro-life movement is to overrule Roe v. Wade. Does he not realize that if Roe v. Wade is overruled, states may do as they please regarding abortion, including enact laws that punish women? And what's wrong with punishing women, anyway? If abortion is murder, as George and others believe it is, then (1) a woman who kills her own fetus is a murderer and (2) a woman who contracts to have her fetus killed is an accomplice to murder. Is George advocating that some murderers not be punished?
