I look at it like this... I don't trust the government on this one. If my wife was presented with an issue wherein abortion might be a consideration, that choice should be up to us with much counsel and prayer from our pastor and medical professionals. I do not want a panel of doctors and/or government bureaucrats making that very important and potentially painful decision for us, especially if it's an election year. Government bureaucrats might sacrifice both my wife and unborn child on the altar of political expediency.

I am as skeptical of government as most. While it's imperfect in many aspects, it is what we have received, and what we have to work with - not to mention ordained by God... as they stand for righteousness.
Sure there has to be an investigation. Of course, "doctors and/or government bureaucrats" will be involved - not unlike infanticide cases being pursued now. Sure the evidence could become muddled. Infants are small and their bodies easily dismembered and discarded...
When it comes to elective abortion of a viable fetus, counsel and prayer from a pastor should be occurring on death row. For a non viable fetus the charge might be reduced to second degree... IDK
