If so, how do you justify the killing of an innocent unborn human baby while arguing for the life of a killer? The baby has a whole life ahead of it and committed no wrong act, but for being in the uterus of a woman who wants to kill him/her.

JM....
Abortion doesn't kill a baby, it terminates a pregnancy? This reminds me of when Hëss started using the language "final solution to the Jewish question."
To disclose, I believe life startes when the heart is beating and the central nervous system is working (there is some level of [un]consciousness), around week 6.
However, I think it is worth noting that another contradictory position is pro-environment and pro-choice. If we want to stop destroying the environment for future generations then we are saying those hypothetical future people have rights that we should respect. And this is not a hypothetical we're talking about but an actual fetus with a very unique and specific beating heart. Whence the rights, sir?

I am the opposite I believe in capital punishment but am pro life, an innocent child should not be elminiated as an inconvenience, they are a human life with potential. We have no right to harm them because we think its not the right time for us. Anyways with all the birth control, family planning information around there is no excuse for it at all.
(let's call it like it is.. its not pro-choice, its pro-babykilling just because its not pink and cries doesn't take away its humanity. We all started out exactly the same way ball of tissues and DNA...every single one of us!).
When an adult does get capital punishment it isn't any light weight crime like petty theft, like some Moslem countries will use, but for 1st degree murder they took a life, sometimes more than one. They should be punished for it. Not get to live the rest of their lives with food, clothing and shelter, entertainment and family visits. Their victim(s) can no longer get to visit their families anymore they are gone forever.

Many innocent people have been executed wrongly.
A fetus has not yet developed self awareness. Terminating a pregnancy is like removing an appendix. And if religious fanatics had outlawed appendectomies I would not be alive today. I am not pro abortion anyway. I am pro choice. I would never have an abortion myself ( being male it is impossible) but I don't have the moral right to dictate what others do with their own body. Most pro-lifers are not really pro life anyway (as can be seen by their continuous justification of murder in wars) they are just anti sex.
Why do pro-lifers say a doctor terminating a pregnacy is wrong but when a pregnancy is terminated by dropping a bomb on an innocent mother that is not only fine but it is an act of patriotism.

AH...see..MY objection to capitol punishment has nothing to do with sanctitiy of life or with the idea that it is wrong to kill. MY objection to it is that if it is ILLEGAL to kill, then those who kill cannot be LEGALLY killed. How can someone that executes a criminal NOT be charged with a crime since killing is ILLEGAL. MY objection to capitol punishment is that it places the executioner ABOVE the law by allowing them to commit pre-mediated murder with impunity and aboslutely NO legal repurcussins what so ever.
Personally I do not have a problem with capitol punishment other than that. No moral or philosophical objections to the taking of a life what so ever. They should either not let anyone kill, or let everyone kill.
THAT is how I can be anti-capitol punishment and pro-choice.

Your question is more than a legal question but also a moral question.
It can be answered in more than one way.
I could say I as a person am against the government killing people or deciding morality for people.
I do not beleve in many things that I don't believe the government should legislate.
Simply because I as a Christian am against a thing does not mean I believe the government should legislate my beliefs.
I believe that God gives man free will to choose him or to choose sin and I do not believe that the governmant legislating these things is going to make a man a better
person.
God gave us his law but no man could live pefectly under the law.
God's law demonstates man's need for God and the atonement.

I am ANTI abortion, it is murder. I am pro excecuting murderers, it is punishment that might keep the next murderer from doing it. Now that ball of cells in the uterus may not be a life to you, but it is to God, and whether you believe in him or not , are you willing to bet your life that you will not stand before him in the end?

Hey Birdy -
Did you know that at 21 days gestation that "ball of cells" has a heartbeat and blood? And that at 6 weeks that ball of cells has measureable brain waves and deliberate body movements? You can spout all the tripe you want about it not being alive, but I will counter it with pointing out that you've obviously never really studied human fetal development or you would know that you are wrong. Whether you think it's sentient or not, it is ALIVE. Clumps of cells don't have heartbeats - 3-week-old fetuses do. They are very much alive.
Please do some research before spouting gross misinformation.

Good question.
I am Pro-Life.
Death of the innocent is not a choice.
Pro-Choice really means Pro-Death.
Any one with common sense should know what Pro-Choice means.
Yes I am for capital punishment.
A murderer should be sent to face their victim/s.
A murderer has no salvation while in the flesh.
A murderer must be forgiven first by the victim/s.
1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

I am against capital punishment and abortion.
Both involve the ending of a human life that is made in the image and likeness of God. The death penalty and abortion are the ultimate sacrelige

No, i don't locate it weird and wonderful. surely, I disagree that Christians that help the loss of life penalty are probable in the minority. And for merely the rationalization you recommend: the version between harmless and in charge. No thinking individual approves of the loss of life penalty being utilized to those which at the instant are not surely answerable for a considerable crime. For myself, i'm professional-selection and anti-loss of life penalty. I dislike abortion, and would counsel a pregnant lady to ascertain she has examined all her strategies and rather concept approximately it in the previous getting an abortion. yet I comprehend that it rather is her physique and her option to make. As to the loss of life penalty, my considerable challenge is the threat of killing somebody who isn't surely in charge, or not in charge adequate to deserve loss of life. yet in comparing loss of life to life in reformatory without the potential of parole, i'd say that any prisoner who's merely too risky to ever be paroled would desire to have the main appropriate to suicide.
