does anyone else find it weird...

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

...when a pro-lifer has to patiently explain to a pro-choicer why a woman who has had an abortion shouldn't be have to be imprisoned?

[Intell]

Most definitely, wanting to protect the life of a baby is not the same as trying to hate the woman doing the abortion.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Not really. If you really buy into the whole pro-life ethos, it's kind of like explaining why hiring a hitman shouldn't be a criminal offence.

[SWE]

It's a pretty difficult position for me to respect tbh.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Not really, no. Considering the extreme rhetoric we so often hear from the pro-life side in public discourse, it's a reasonable interpretation to assume that one might support this kind of punishment. Having to choose between standing by it or explaining why it's not relevant is a good way to come to a more nuanced view of the issue.
