So... Life Is Not Precious?

Life is really gray.
Not all issues are black and white.

because, life, indeed, is a mystery, and the ones who live by it make it so complicated that sometimes things are unexplainable. We cannot say that the unborn must be valued over the lives of those criminals, for they are of the same origin. Both are born innocent and pure of heart. The only difference is that unborn has not yet comitted things that are rendered unappropriate for the society, while the latter had done so. But then, the unborn are potential killers, rapists and kidnappers after a decade or so, so why lay the blame on somebody who has the thing the other also has?

The bodies (of death penalty bound criminals) are hopeless cases in becoming clean and good (like "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"). Death penalty can set a suffering soul free from its corrupted body (which was trained to live in crime).
The unborn's life is more precious than a criminal, because there is more hope for the baby to live a life of goodness.

Ah Lisa you just asked the million dollar question. Like why support the right for life and then send 100,000 kids to a foreign country to die? So really, life is only valid inside the womb? Once you're out, you're on your own? It is the ultimate hypocrisy, and the weird thing is the people that think that way? They don't get it!!! And when people say they're pro-choice, not pro-abortion, the same people say we're full of it. They show these pictures of horribly bloodied babies, and again it's the same administration that won't allow us to see dead soldiers. I wish sometime someone would actually answer your question Lisa, because they don't. They bob and weave and go around it, because you can't support both things

I myself support the death penilty. And I think that it is wrong to have an abortion, BUT I also think that abortion should be left up to the man and woman who will be the parents to this unborn baby. Now how can I support the death penilty? VERY EASY. THIS piece of SH*T KILLED or RAPED someone or MOLESTED a kid he doesn't deserve to live. I myself would have no problem in pulled the switch so to speak. BUT I'll go one further, Someone breaks into my home they had better hope and pray to GOD that the police get them before I do. I have several guns and know very well how to use them.

Very few people are against "killing" in ALL circumstances. For instance, most people in the US believe fighting WWII was necessary. Sometimes killing is permitted when some other interest justifies it. A balance of interests.
The people who are "pro-choice" on abortion believe that the woman's freedom and choice outweigh the interests of the unborn life.
Death penalty supporters believe that the benefits to society outweigh the interests of the convicted criminal.
We're all drawing lines and making choices.

If human life is ultimately precious, then taking a life is the worst offense that you can commit. The thinking is that by taking another's life you forfeit your own; eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life, etc. By ending the life of the murderer, justice has been served.
This is not incompatable with the view that an unborn human (or potential human) deserves protection from the ending of his/her life.
So, human life in all forms should be protected, but if someone violates that they should pay with their own life.

The world is not an heaven and mangaging it requires a balance.
Those who don't want to have a normal life, with all the dificulties it imposes, and persit going on their own, treathning at the same time the safeness and aspirations of the rest of the population, We're sorry but they cannot be part of the jorney. They had their option... and their decision.
Babies are the best thing in the world. We need babies, thousands of couples fight to have children, why not to spare them?
Life is and has to be a high priority value in all modern societies, but not at any price.

What's more amazing is those who support killing innocent unborn children (by allowing folks to do so)& yet claim life is precious for the guilty mass murderer.

I'm tempted to say that no human being has the right to take the life of another, but then I think of war and I wonder. People should protect what they love and believe in or life would be meaningless. But in the case of defending one's country, bloodshed is inevitable. So I have two beliefs that contradict each other... whoa. heh, I got off topic..

Those subject to the death penalty have made their fate, a conscious choice...the pure unborn, what have they done to deserve such treatment?
