Seems to me that ALL life is sacred, so why do I see so many people decrying abortion as "murder" but cheer on the execution of convicts? Aren't both fetuses and inmates capable of conversion or repentance either here or in the afterlife?

I'm like that. I believe prison inmates should get a chance to convert. Now, in the case of horrid people like Adolf Hitler, who are truly a danger to society, I can't blame society for wanting them out of the way....
As for the whole, "if someone in your family got hurt, you'd feel different" -- not so fast. Someone in my family DID get hurt by a predator, and know what she said? Forgive him and move on.

I struggle with that. Jesus disbanded a crowd ready to execute an adulterous woman by stoning by telling the crowd "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." The crowd went away one by one because they were all sinners.

If there was no form of punishment for criminals then the crime rate would sky rocket. Take a look at Singapore for instance. They cane you for misdeameanors. They also happen to have a very low to nonexistant crime rate.

I'm an atheist and yes, I am anti-death penalty, and anti-abortion/anti-choice.
