What's this?

So I get that you want to impose your brand of spirituality through the

force of government. That aside, if abortions are outlawed completely, what would be the punishment meted out and under what circumstances and to whom? As a practical matter how would you enforce it? Suppose it's illegal in say Idaho and you drive across the border to say Washington where it is legal. Do you prosecute the woman involved? The person who transported her? Also, if it is, as you believe, God's will that a baby be born, then I presume you're against birth control as well? Although, if a woman or man chooses to use birth control or abortion, aren't they also doing something that is part of God's plan, or do you not believe in predetermination?

Why should the government be involved in these questions which are clearly a matter of conscience?
