Pro-Life, and Death Penalty

To sum it all up for you:

Unborn children do not get due process.

Murderers do.

(Much more simple explanation...)

[wmichgrad]

Pro-life is referring to killing a completely innocent life form, I.E.: a fetus

This is not true. Pro-life refers to respecting life at all stages, from conception to natural death. Being against "killing a completely innocent life form, I.E.: a fetus" is referred to as anti-abortion.

This is not true. Pro-life refers to respecting life at all stages, from conception to natural death.

LOL. Who died and made you Supreme Omniscient Arbitor of All Definitions? :-)

[wmichgrad]

Am I wrong?

[M 91 u2 K]

So you are against killing Jihadists who attack America?

After all we have to allow a natural death to be Pro Life!

[wmichgrad]

That would be self defense, which I am all for.

[M 91 u2 K]

And killing murderers is self defense also.

Since 1971 10,000 people have been killed by people who were convicted on murder and released.

And the Death Penalty is used to punish and deter prisoners from killing guards.

Life without parole would solve that problem.

And the Death Penalty is used to punish and deter prisoners from killing guards

If it's not a deterrent to keep people from killing a person in the first place, then I doubt that is what keeps them from killing guards. I would think the pain and suffering that would be inflicted by other guards should they kill one is more of a deterrent.

[newgeezer]

Am I wrong?

In my humble opinion, your definition is absolutely wrong. By your definition, God is not pro-life.

[wmichgrad]

How would that be?

[I'm ALL Right!]

Unborn children are innocent, and have done nothing to deserve punishment. Furthermore, the arguement they are not "viable life" is total bunk. Left alone, they would survive. Removed from their natural environment they would die, just as an adult thrown into the middle of the ocean would drown.

A monster murderer gets due process and punishment for crimes committed.

[M 91 u2 K]

Life without parole would solve that problem

Problem is that isnt the case the average time in prison for murdered is just 6 YEARS!

[wmichgrad]

I would agree that this is a horrible fact! Aside from the death penalty debate, surely anyone who intentionally kills another person should never have the chance to be free. In my opinion, someone who intentionally attempts to kill another person should be locked up forever as well.

[newgeezer]

God gives authority to government to impose and carry out the death penalty. See Romans 13:4.

[wmichgrad]

That is a very loose interpretation.

Romans 13:4 - For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

What version of the Bible do you use?

[newgeezer]

That is a very loose interpretation.

"Loose"? How else do you interpret that? Government bears the sword for God, to execute wrath upon the evildoer.

[Right Wing It]

Absolutely, It's a terrible argument for someone to use. That's a great point you made.

[biblewonk]

Yes

It seems to me that we have to create a culture of life before either abortion or death penalty can go away. Those who support abortion and not the death penalty are just as hypocritical as those who are against abortion and are for the death penalty. We have to hold our politicians responsible for supporting initiatives that support not only life, but the pursuit of happiness. That includes children who are born to irresponsible parents. Some people point to statistics showing the correlations between the increase in abortion and the decrease in violent crimes. This is certainly an interesting case here, but it still results in the taking of life. Until our society ensures that a every child has the same opportunity at a good life, perhaps we should maintain the status quo.
