I'm interested - would there be any exceptions to the ruling? If a pregnancy is the result of a rape, perhaps? Or if pregnancy is dangerous to the mother? Or if it's a teenage pregnancy?
And how will the country deal with the effects of all the illegal abortions carried out? Will the women be put in jail? What about all the children who are put up for adoption? Who will pay for their welfare and upbringing?
And how many women will take a "holiday" to another country while pregnant and go home miraculously not pregnant - will those women be arrested on their return?
Oh, and is this ban being brought by men, perchance?
