Answer 1

It is a mistake to think of these issues as left versus right. Treating this topic as one of left vs right will not lead to a useful dialogue or to learning about the issue.
It is interesting things here is that more and more people oppose the death penalty because they believe it is an ineffective way of keeping us safe. They are coming to this position for practical, rather than for moral or ideological reasons.

I hope that people on both sides will continue to find out the hard facts.
Here are some of them-

It is not a deterrent- states with the death penalty have higher homicide rates than states that do not. People who commit murder do not think they will be caught, let alone punished, that is, if they think at all.

The death penalty costs much more than life sentences. A great deal of the extra cost comes before conviction, in fact even before trial. There is an unmet need for more well funded victims’ assistance programs. (In my opinion, we should spend the extra money for victims services where it is really needed.)

Life without parole is on the books in more and more states. It means what it says.
It is no picnic to be locked up in a tiny cell for 23 of 24 hours a day.

Over 120 people have been released from death row with evidence of their innocence.
(In the overwhelming number of these cases, the evidence was not DNA. DNA is not a miracle cure for wrongful convictions). The exonerees had spent many years on death row before being found innocent. Speeding up the process would guarantee the execution of an innocent person. It is human nature to make mistakes.

Once someone is executed for a crime the case is closed. If the wrong person was convicted, the real killer is still out there.

Death sentences can be very hard on victims’ families. The process takes a long time and they are forced to relive their ordeal over and over again, in courts and in the media. Some murder victims’ family members have said that although they support the death penalty in theory, they do not want to see it in the case of their murdered loved one because of how the process affects families like theirs. Life without parole is swift and sure and rarely results in appeals.

Last of all, opposing the death penalty does not mean you excuse or coddle criminals who commit brutal and depraved acts. They must be punished severely. But we need to use common sense based on the facts, not to focus on revenge or on party.

Answer 2

Well, let me see if I can explain it to you, honestly Im not being cute, Im not sure I understand it myself, or even if I do, I dont know if I can explain so you might understand.

I think more liberal minded people don't necessarily believe in killing an unborn fetus, regardless of trimester. It's just they want to trust the woman to make that decision for herself,. Only she can truly know what kind of life she can give a child she did not choose to have in the first place.
With convicts and the death penalty, I think it's more two pronged. One, Putting to death killers and such, while expeditious and economical, debases society as a whole, and Two, with the numbers of falsely accused and convicted people being let out of prison after 25, 30 years, due to new DNA evidence, it makes me cringe to wonder how many innocent men has this country executed? ONE IS TOO MANY. Until we can make the justice system foolproof, where not one innocent person gets convicted, only then should we consider ourselves able to mete out that final mortal justice.
Frankly, living the rest of your natural life in a 8 by 10 concrete cubicle doesnt exactly sound like Club Med, 25 years of that might prompt me to ASK to be injected.

Thats the Democrat side, more or less...

On the Republican side, it's more fighting for the rights of American citizens who cannot speak for themselves; the issue still remains: When does a fetus become a baby?

As far as the death penalty goes, this is an implicit admission, there is no such thing as "rehabilitation", and the "department of Corrections" is an illusion. To be tough on crime, we have to be more bloodthirsty than the criminals.

Answer 3

I am pro-choice for the first trimester only......after that I believe we should have strict limitations.......I don't believe that something so small and un-developed in those early stages should over-rule a woman's life, and that the decision should be up to her at that point

I am against the death penalty because it is over-used and too many innocent people have been killed (real, thinking, feeling people, not "people" the size of my pinky fingernail)

Answer 4

Why are men so much more vehement in being anti-abortion?

If you argue long enough, an anti-abortion man or woman will always say ,"If a woman wants a choice she should choose to keep her legs closed." I have had this argument dozens of times. As you can see above, although pro-choice, ret-roch refers to women as "bimbos."

The abortion question is all about sex. The men hate women and are terrified of their sexuality, and the women hate themselves and are frightened by their own sexuality. No one with a great sex life has a problem with abortion.

Victims families should have absolutely no say in punishment. That's what the law is for.

And the death penalty serves no purpose and mistakes are made, witness Illinois.

Answer 5

Try this one on, I'm a lifelong Registered Republican who has never, ever missed voting in an election, even when in Vietnam, and I believe in a woman's right to choose (as long as she doesn't wait until two weeks before the birth like some of these bimbos are doing) and I am not in favor of the death penalty because it's no longer a deterrant to murder. What does that do to your asinine theory?

Answer 6

I am pro-life and pro-death penalty.

I say if someone is innocent they don't deserve to die (abortion). If someone is guilty of murder (taking innocent life) then the only way to elevate the victim's life is to take the perpetrator's life. The death penalty is not organized killing, abortion clinics are.

Answer 7

properly, maximum events are defined by using their extremes. The relgious conservatives, the stressful spectacular, is against abortion. they % Roe v. Wade overturned. besides the undeniable fact that, this would possibly not make abortions unlawful. it is going to throw the determination returned to the states. It purely removes the federal assure of a female's spectacular to abortion. The democrats, the stressful left, is adamantly professional-selection. do not % any definition of whilst life starts. experience the female ought to have the properly suited to % no rely what. As consistently, maximum folk fall interior the middle. oftentimes professional-selection, yet prepared to settle for some regulations on late term abortions. The events finally end up being beholden to the "base" so they communicate alot to placate them yet often finally end up doing not too lots to handle it. They be attentive to maximum folk of voters are greater average of their perspectives. the subject for this election is putting splendid courtroom justices that could help an overturn of roe v. wade. There are 3 conceivable positions which will open up on the courtroom, all of them greater liberal leaning judges wanting to retire. So, whoever gets elected ought to the two look after the present stability or exchange the leanings of the courtroom to a greater conservative view. probably why you hear the DNC call against battling the Republican efforts to make the courtroom conservative. If the Democrat wins, not likely lots will exchange.

Answer 8

New innocent life has a RIGHT to be born and to live. They haven't committed any crimes. Those who are adults, and murders, and molesters, have the RIGHT to die, and are harmful to society. They lost their right to live by killing, and maiming others.
Liberals kill their babies, simply because they are unable to care and love for the precious. Republicans demand the death penalty for those who have lived a life but also destroyed one or many. Those are the facts.

Answer 9

Pickle I think it has a lot to do with religion. The bible calls for punishment (determined by the father) against anyone who harms the fetus, and calls for the death penalty for certian crimes. The republicans seem to be mostly religious and the democrats who also claim to be religious do not believe in teh bible, or believe that the bible should not regulate how one should live. I have not figured that part out yet.

Answer 10

A Republican will say "We'll kill the criminal because he did something wrong. The 'baby' didn't, so it shouldn't be killed." I'm a Dem who's firmly anti-death penalty, so the 1st issue doesn't apply to me.
