Are the pro-choice crowd against the death penalty because they know they are advocating murder?

Answer 1

No they just are against killing adults who bear responsibilty for their actions, like mureders and rapists and terrorists, but they love to slaughter the innocent, who havent had a chance, its a twisted logic

Answer 2

atheists like to tell christians what will you do if faced with the facts of evolution??????? or even Do you use medical technology??? well here are some facts on fetus per ultrasound: the first thing seen on ultrasound 4- 5 weeks gestation is the gestational sac, then the yolk sac within the g-sac, at 6 weeks a heart beat is seen --it amounts to a flickering pixel now what do you suppose is making that heart to beat?? it usually is twice as fast as the mothers--so we know it is not her. whatever the case the 'fetus' is completely formed at 3 months gestation. of course up until 1970-1980 this information was not available so when the decision was made when does life begin the powers that be said after birth and never corrected. We do know better today. Any way you look at it a flickering heartbeat means life and if it is aborted it is murder. I totally agree with my 2 cents--you are correct;absolutely

Answer 3

I have seen polls that suggest that pro-choice folks are more likely to support the death penalty and pro-lifers are more likely to oppose it. But those polls were reported in a consistent ethic publication, which opposes both abortion and capital punishment so there could have been an "us vs. them" mentality in their interpretation of the poll or the questions asked.

I oppose both the death penalty and abortion, but don't accuse anyone of hypocrisy. It is, never the less, strange to me that someone can support legal abortion based partly on the idea that the unborn will have a terrible life if born "unwanted," yet oppose the death penalty when you consider how terrible a life someone will have if they are spending their life in prison.

I think we can do better than either abortion or capital punishment by developing nonlethal methods of terminating pregnancies and by developing prisons which pay for themselves and offer inmates an opportunity to accomplish some good for themselves and others for as long as they are incarcerated.

Answer 4

I would say yes. But then the Libs never made since. Killing an unborn baby is fine. The death of a convicted killer is not and if a person want to end his or her life because of a terminal illness is wrong. Always had trouble understanding that. The criminal made his /her choice by committing the crime, a adult with a terminal illness should have the choice on how to die and when. The unborn child has no say what ever. I'll never be able to think like a Lib, or understand one.

Answer 5

pro anything being decided at the federal level is simply unconstitutional. the constitution plainly states that congress shall pass no laws. now there have been ammendments such as federal crimes for treason and counterfeiting money. all other laws are suppose to be decided at the state level...period!!! what is ok for california may not be ok for mississippi and vice versa. this is the beauty of the constitution. It used to be that people could move to different states because one may be more free than the other. the feds still know these laws; that is why they have to resort to threatening the states by not issuing federal highway funds unless the states individually pass a mandatory seat belt law. for the federal government this is legislation, for me and you this would be considered bribary.

Answer 6

Although an abortion is never an easy choice for any woman it should always be a choice. It takes two people to make a child and in so many cases the responsibility for that child becomes the lifework of one.

People should really step it up and be more responsible. Although I'm pro-choice I personally would never be able to go though with it. The guilt that goes with kind of decision would kill me.

The death penalty is a completely different matter and I don't think it is fair to compare them.

Question for you: If the child you save is gay, will you fight for its civil rights?!

Answer 7

Sorry to inform you Locutus, but neither of these are issues in the 2008 elections. They are diversions from the right wing. The issues are 1. Iraq, 2. the economy and oncoming recession, 3. Immigration, 4. the lies of Bush and Cheney, 5. our infrastructure falling apart. Things that truly effect us all, not just just the unborn and undead sitting on death row.

BTW, the majority of americans are pro-choice and it's not just liberals anymore. Are you willing to adopt thousands of babies? ARe you willing to pay for their welfare? Are you willing to pay for more prisons to house them when they grow up to be criminals because of neglect and abuse? It's obvious most anti-choice people don't think through the consequences of their positions.

Answer 8

i'm prochoice and i am not opposed to the death penalty. in fact i would wish it would be a public display. i am also sick and tired of people robbing each other too. wish we could cut off a hand or two in the town square. i am opposed to murdering babys. babys that are sweet and innocent. not the teens/grown adults that do know better.

Answer 9

It depends on how you view the unborn baby. I don't agree with abortion but believe in choice in very limited cases. It's such a tough issue I believe no one is right or wrong yet.

Answer 10

Is the Anti-Abortion crowd for the war in Iraq because they like seeing innocent people get hurt?
