Oh come on. It won't sentence anyone to anything. They could respond by
just not having an abortion. Unless "sentence" is used in the context of
"We made car protection a priority, thus sentencing erstwhile car
thieves to the more dangerous pursuit of robbery".

There are arguments both pro and anti abortion. The above isn't one of
them.
