Explain yourselves why you think it is okay to think this way.

I am against abortion and for the death penalty. My reason for both is the same: TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.
An unborn child is completely innocent and unable to protect itself, so we must protect it. Someone who has committed the kind of crimes it takes to have the death penalty applied is evil, and we must protect the innocent in our society from him/her. If and when a life sentence became truly absolute in every state, I would reconsider my position; but, until then, it is the only way to protect our families.

I'm pro choice, I think I woman should be able to decide what goes on with her body although I DO NOT think abortion should be used as a form of birth control. And I am for the death penalty because if someone did something to get the death penalty they deserve it. Most o the time courts will give out life sentences, unless it was a really horrible crime i.e. Scott Peterson, who killed his pregnant wife and unborn child.

I against abortion & for the death penalty. This is not to say I think abortion should necessarily be illegal - it's just wrong.
My reasoning is simple. A baby has no choice where as an adult convict had plenty of choices (& henceforth chances) in life & it's by those choices they ended up where they are.

I am for both with some exceptions. I do not care for the abortion, but I think its a personal choice. I am ok with the death penalty for certain crimes like treason and terrorism, but I do not think it has an impact on murders so its pointless as a deterrence factor.

I am against abortion because it is the murder of an innocent and defenseless life.
I am against the death penalty, also.
In either case, the start and end of life is for God to decide.

Abortion depends on if it is "really to save the life" of the mother. Partial birth abortions should get the doctor to lose his license and the mom to get 20 strokes of the cane.

For abortion, against death penalty.
I do not believe a fetus to be a viable human life as it cannot survive independent from he mother.
I do not believe is should be the burden of ones peers to determine of one should live or die.

i am pro-choice and pro-death penalty.
why? because if either of these things don't happen, then i get to pay to support them.
i dont want money out of my check to support your illigetimate kid because you cant work and support them your self.
and i dont want money out of my check so that murderers can have access to the internet and get online and solicit kids for sex.

Against both.
Who are we to determine who lives and dies.
