I keep reading about politicians who are pushing for women who receive abortions to be punished with prison time. However, I can't find anything about whether the male could or would also be punished with prison time.
For example, I know of someone who was married and the couple had an unexpected pregnancy. He wanted her to get an abortion, but she wanted the baby. She ultimately gave in to her husband and got the abortion. If abortion were to become a crime, would only she be guilty of the crime or would he be an accessory before the fact and, therefore, be held criminally liable to the same extent as she? I've read plenty about the push for a woman to be criminalized for having an abortion, but I haven't been able to find anything regarding criminalization for the man's role.
