And what about women who are determined to take control of their bodies? Should we imprison them for 9 months until they've given birth?
Well maybe knowing abortions are now illegal would make people (both male and female) think twice before having sex creating fewer unwanted pregnencies. Maybe its time adults take responsibility for themselves and face the fact that sometimes having unprotected sex while not using any form of birth control isn't as easy to fix as a quick trip to the doctor anymore. Who knows this might even slow the spread of AIDS and other STDs.

And no, you shouldn't imprisson them until they've given birth. You don't imprission someone who might commit a crime, that'd be wrong. After they kill and actually have commited a crime, THEN you could lock her up.
