How can you be pro-life and pro-death-penalty at the same time?

Answer 1

You can't! Now we see the inconsistency in the right-wing mentality, and the limitations of political buzzwords.

Answer 2

Pro-life: this concerns stricter abortion laws and supporting adult and cord stem cell research instead of embryonic stem cell research, basically concerns about human life before birth

Pro death penalty: support the death penalty for those convicted under law to have committed a bad enough crime and is not seemingly about to turn away from his/her ways-these usually include terrorists, serial rapists or serial killers-not very good people

I am both. I think abortion should be restricted heavily and that those who are cancers of society should be gotten rid of. We are dealing with babies, innocent, and habitual killers, guilty.

Answer 3

The death penalty is imposed on worthless garbage who have chosen to kill innocent people for their own selfish motives. And life in prison is not an answer. Someone who has chosen to murder once, will do so again if given the opportunity, whether a fellow prisoner or a corrections officer. And lifers have no reason NOT to attempt to escape. Many have, and the usual outcome is more dead innocent victims. Once they have a needle in the arm, they won't kill again.

Abortion kills an innocent baby who has done nothing wrong, for the convenience of the mother.

Answer 4

I am actually pro choice, but in answer to your question, the death penalty is given to people that had choices to make in their lives and made poor ones. They threw their life away. They KNEW there were repurcussions of getting caught and decided to commit the crime anyway. Therefore, they should be punished. My taxes should not be feeding them for life. An embryo however, cannot make choices. Period.

Answer 5

To end the life of baby because it is not convenient for you is not right; the baby has no choice/voice.

You should have been more responsible with your choices when you had sex.

Death Penalty - is what the spiritual and governental law states is required for the taking of the life of another.
This person acted as if they had the "right" to end the life of another by whatever means.......so their life is required the same but worthily.

Answer 6

I'm not. Prochoice & pro death penalty here:):)

I could see where people would think since the babies are innocent & deserve life they would be prolife

- where (most) death row inmates are guilty of some awful crime that means they deserve death....

Answer 7

People who are both pro-life and pro-capital punishment tend to believe that killing an innocent person is wrong. It's not the taking of a life that's offensive, as much as the taking of an innocent life.

Answer 8

Take 10 second and think about this. You really question how this is possible?

Taking the life a child that is SO innocent that it hasn't even had a chance to do anything wrong is being compared to taking the life of someone who obviously has not only done something wrong, but has TAKEN THE LIFE of somebody else?

Please tell me that you're not serious with this question. If you are, you seriously need to question your intellect and your values.

Answer 9

Babies are innocent and don't have a choice. Murderers and sex offenders aren't innocent and they have a choice to do the right thing and they chose to do the wrong thing. If they know the consequences they had no business doing it. Enough said.

Answer 10

pro-life is to protect a unborn child who has not been able to make their own choice.
death penalty is for a convicted criminal who has made their own decision to do what they did

Answer 11

Very much so. They are two seperat issues that really dont relate to each other. One is the killing of innocent lives. The other is the punnishment for taking a life.
