You're assuming that the mothers knew all about what was going on in the procedure, but yes, I am confused as to why they aren't facing charges as well. My guess would be that they don't know who the mothers are and therefore can't charge them. If they did know, however, I would assume that the mothers would be charged as well. Women have been charged in the past for getting illegal abortions.

What I was more arguing is the fact that you said the doctor shouldn't be charged for the murder of the babies or should only be charged as an accessory. I don't understand why you argued that. The fact that the mothers ought to be charged for murder as well doesn't lessen the amount of blame that he should receive.
