This could backfire on them, I recall several years back reading a study in which anti-abortion sentiment plummeted the moment subjects were asked whether the pregnant woman herself should be punished (not even executed, just punished) for getting an abortion.

It’s an interesting bit of cognitive dissonance, the sentiment seemed to be “yeah, abortion is murder, the doctor’s a murderer, but the person who hired him to do that murder is an innocent victim who must be protected.”
