Right to Life

If you go to the hospital emergency room the next day and tell them you had unprotected sex there is a pill and although this is a sad solution it is better than waiting and having to do the messy job.
So you even though you're perfectly allowed to have an abortion you should go to jail for waiting an extra week to get it? The results are identical. This is probably the single dumbest position I've ever heard of on Abortion.

If you come to an abortion clinic and they say why didn’t you go to a hospital emergency room? What are you going to tell them?
I think if you don’t have a good answer you should go to jail for fifteen days or more
So your ability to get an abortion consequence-free is dependent on your ability to come up with an excuse? If a woman tells a good lie how are you going to verify that she was lying? You see, unlike rape where the woman's word isn't good enough to put the man in jail, in this case, it will be you trying to put the woman in jail and therefore your responsibility to prove that her reasons weren't good enough. How exactly are you going to do that?

This sounds like medical marijuana. People who want to smoke weed just make sure they're going to a doctor that won't care. It's easy to get around.

Furthermore, if a woman knows that showing up at an abortion clinic could potentially land her in jail why would she go to one? Why not just drink a bunch of tequila, "fall" down the stairs, use a coat hanger, or any one of the hundreds of other ways to cause a miscarriage without seeing a doctor at all?

They should know there is a cost to society.
No there isn't. The cost to society would be if the girl was forced to have a child she couldn't afford. That would require society to help her out with welfare and food stamps. It would also hurt her earning ability as she's more likely to not finish school. As a single mother, she won't be able to earn a living for herself much likely a child because in order to work she'll have to send the child to daycare which costs a fortune.

And because life is a woman’s health issue I’m all for free Federally funded abortions, why should the poor proliferate? (instead, they should go to jail)
But if they know it will put them in jail why would they go to an abortion clinic? Why not use a coat hanger? There are a hundred ways to cause a miscarriage without going to the doctor. So if going to the doctor could potentially put you at risk of prison time why would you go?

If you’re too ignorant to go to the hospital emergency room right after having unprotected sex
You realize that Abortion rates and teen pregnancy are higher in the conservative South specifically because they don't teach sexual education properly right? If someone was foolish enough to have unprotected sex in the first place it stands to reason that they didn't know the consequences of it, and wouldn't think to then go to the doctor the next day anyway.

Why not just make birth control free and invest in sexual education in advance so nobody is having unprotected sex in the first place?

, then you’re too ignorant to give your baby up for adoption and it would likely have been so ignorant too.
Well, you're too ignorant to realize that punishing young women with jail time will have disastrous consequences so maybe we should abort you?

I'm just testing out my ideas, If I were to try and put this on you I would start making them Southerners take my sex education.
