I think the absence of a bright line mandates a thoroughly restrictive regime, but not one with equal penalties at each stage. There remains enough residual controversy to make it reasonable to be more lenient at the early stages, and stricter at the last stages, of pregnancy. Thus, my preferred policy would allow rape/incest/life of the mother exceptions, and would merely exact fines for the first trimester, though with the eventual threat of pulling a medical license if enough infractions accrue. By the last trimester, I would consider it a lesser form of manslaughter. I do think that it is best to remand the question to the states, rather than to have a Constitutional amendment on the matter, and I am prepared for the possibility of different regimes in different states. But I do consider the overturning of Roe v. Wade to be necessary.
