ALLIE BETH STUCKEY: In some cases, women should share legal responsibility depending on her age, mental capacity, her culpability, whether she was forced or not, the circumstances surrounding the abortion, how old was the baby. All of these things have always gone into judicial decisions about who bears responsibility for the taking of a person's life. Now these women are not the ones committing the murder when they are seeking abortions but they are, many times, knowingly complicit and are paying for it. I'm not talking about life in prison. I'm not talking about the death penalty. But shouldn't hiring a hitman to kill a human being bring with it a legal consequence?
