Additionally, Bonevac asserts that he has a right to refuse to employ a teaching assistant who has had an abortion, calling such women "criminals."
This guy didn't get the memo that you can't go directly after the women themselves, only the doctors and people who assist them getting an abortion to create a chilling effect and harmful physical outcomes for the women.
If you try to go directly after the women legally and treat them as if they actually committed murder (putting them on trial, sending them to jail, executing them) it opens a whole political and legal can of worms that the right doesn't want to actually deal with.
