5. Unborn humans are just as intrinsically valuable as older humans (toddlers, teenagers, adults, etc.). Since the punishment for killing a toddler is the same as the punishment for killing an adult (and the punishment in some states, like my home state of California, for killing an unborn child against the mother’s will is the same as for killing adults), then I think the punishment should be the same. Life in prison or capital punishment, whatever the punishment is in the state for murder. (Whether or not capital punishment is a moral form of killing is a topic for another article. My stance on it is irrelevant for now, my point simply being that whatever the punishment for murdering someone outside the womb should be, the same punishment should be prescribed for murdering an unborn human.) The doctor should also lose his/her medical license.
