A lot of people that are pro-life support the death penalty. They mostly all eat meat too, from animals that don't have to be killed- they could be vegetarians.

Animals have beating hearts too, Fireball. And they feel pain.

Big difference between killing a baby because it's inconvenient for you to raise it and killing a danger to society.
And killing animals is not murder. No western culture has ever taught that it was, and if you think it is, you're a fringe moon-bat. Jewish kosher laws were enacted partially to ensure that animals killed for meat were done so in a humane way.

What are you saying HappyKid?
You could not have had the chance to be Happykid if someone had aborted you.
The death penalty is put in place for those who kill and take life without regards. Cold killers that cannot be rehabilitated or turned loose.
If a child is not safe in the womb of it's mother then where?
God designed the body for protein.
He also designed animals for mankind and survival.
Some extremist may think killing of plants is unnecessary as well. There are those who feel that plants are very much alive and have feelings too.
Come on you can't compare the value of a human child or innocent life to that of an animal?
God did not send His son to rescue animals but humans from the fires of hell.

The problem with morally supporting the death penalty is that in order to do it one has to accept the fact that a certain amount of innocent people will be executed in the process.Currently about 12% of all the guys on death row are thought to be innocent of the crimes that the State is going to,put them to death for .Since the line of demarcation for the relative value of a life seems to be the innocence of that life, a moral person will have diffuculty accepting the need to kill 12 innocent men out of 100.

Well, I see a difference between humans, animals, and a fetus. i am pro-choice, pro-meat, and anti-death penalty. To me, a human is a living creature with higher consciousness. An animal is a living creature with lower consciousness (I would like to see them killed in the least painful way, and have their lives be as happy as possible). And I see a fetus as a semi-living creature (it is dependent on a womb, thus it is not independently living) with no conscious.

I do not support the death penalty. I can
never say that I would entirely support lethal
injection. I think that rehabilitation or incarceration
is the best route.
I am pro-life and also vegetarian. :)
(what good is it to use tax dollars to murder mentally unstable people? Horrible!)
I get really angry when I hear of serial killers,rapists and child molesters too, but killing everyone is not the way to go. It's too much like revenge sometimes.

You're generalizing. And if you're on the matter of killing--why kill so many vegetables that wouldn't have to be killed, just to feed yourself?? Death is a part of life. Animals eat other animals, which also eat plants... some plants even eat animals. Are you going to be so anti-death that you adopt the Arrogant Worms song "Carrot Juice is Murder" as your theme next?

What are you more angry about -- that pro-lifers want to protect an unborn, innocent baby
or
reasonable people wanting to prevent a perpetrator of a heinous crime against humanity from ever doing it again?
I'm personally against the death penalty most of the time.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go check on my piece of dead cow roasting in the oven.

The death penalty is punishment for a person convicted guilty of a heinous crime.
Abortion is the indiscriminate slaughter of a baby too young to defend itself.
And human life is more important than animal life. Humans are created in the image of God. We are to be kind to animals and treat them with respect but they are not equal to humans.

I guess if you think you are related to animals a la evolution then it WOULD seem like homicide...of a distant cousin or something, yes?

Im pro life...anti death penalty and (proud to say it) pro-chicken nuggets.

I am pro-life in all cases: i oppose abortion and the death penalty. As for animals, i do eat meat. Animals are less important than humans,although we should look after them. Simple as that.
God bless
