So you're ok with potentially killing mothers, who have established lives, loved ones, people to take care of and share a life with, through scaring doctors away from administering necessary procedures to prevent the cases of some mother-doctor pairs from killing some hypothetical fetuses which can be counted on the fingers of one hand annually anyway.

This is a very poor steel man. If that's really what you think I support then I encourage you to read my comment again. I believe the risk to mothers is very low, and acceptable, relative to the certainty that people currently exercise the ability to electively abort late term fetuses.

No one is claiming doctors and mothers aren't human beings. That's an absurd claim and you are being histrionic now.

As for the death penalty and other policies, I can't speak for others. I oppose the death penalty and unnecessary wars. You'll have to take that up with the straw man you're trying to build.
